Since seatbelt laws seem to be gaining popularity (at least
among legislators and those dishing out the federal funds),
it's only appropriate that the music world contribute to the
cause. The song below was performed at _The Top of the Hill_,
an establishment in Bridgewater, NJ.
Weird Al, eat your heart out!

Seatbelts and Jesus (Saved My Life Tonight)
Lyrics by the Aardvark Singing Society
To the tune of "Rolling' in My Sweet Baby's Arms"
Coming home Friday from the Top of the Hill,
Seatbelts and Jesus saved my life.
Little did I know I'd fall asleep at the wheel!
Seatbelts and Jesus saved my life.
When I woke up that Friday night.
Seatbelts and Jesus saved my life.
I was drivin' down the left-hand side instead of the right!
Seatbelts and Jesus saved my life.
(Chorus)
Seatbelts and Jesus saved my life tonight.
Seatbelts and Jesus saved my life.
Seatbelts and Jesus,
Seatbelts and Jesus,
Seatbelts and Jesus saved my life!
I smashed my truck into the trunk of a tree.
Seatbelts and Jesus saved my life.
Why in the world did it have to be me?
Seatbelts and Jesus saved my life.
I can't describe how good it felt.
Seatbelts and Jesus saved my life.
Knowing that the Lord knew I was wearing my belt.
Seatbelts and Jesus saved my life.
(Repeat Chorus)
Mario Cuomo says, "It's great."
Seatbelts and Jesus saved my life.
You better buckle up in the Empire State.
Seatbelts and Jesus saved my life.
Let's not forget our Governor Kean.
Seatbelts and Jesus saved my life.
Cause the law in New Jersey is now just the same.
Seatbelts and Jesus saved my life.
(Repeat Chorus)
(New verse to tune of old "Buckle Up for Safety" commercial)
Buckle up for Safety, Buckle Up!
Buckle up for Safety, always Buckle Up!
Show the world you care
By the Belt you wear.
Buckle up for Safety.
When you're driving, Buckle Up!
