lyrics

God is dead
Yes, God is dead
Said God is dead
He retired to the coast
Junior's in charge
He fired the Holy Ghost
Clothes make the man
And crows fly south
David slew Goliath
And Moses had a big mouth
Curiosity killed the cat
But it had nine lives
Bluebeard married nine times
And killed all nine wives

Slim Harpo sez
There were all these people
Slim Harpo sez
Every single one
Rave on, Long John

Who were the asphalt angels
Phantoms with filthy faces
Who were the four Marx Brothers
In a Day at the Races
Who was Drummer Hoff
Why did he break ranks
Who was Clay Holliday
Why did he rob banks
Who was Leon Strange
Why did he give thanks
When Doctor Sax
Boiled hippos in their tanks

Slim Harpo sez
There were all these people
Slim Harpo sez
Every single one
Rave on, Long John
