A question to anybody on the net. As a member of the Midrealm
(relatively new member) I have heard unofficial history about
the "Gods of Northwoods." Is that one verse a reference to them?

Ok folks. After 3 months of waiting, I am finally giving out with
the compiled (but not executed) version of Old Time Religion. Judith
Schrier, bless her soul, actually typed in the contents of Filthy
Pierre's songbook, as did a few other people. However, since she
included music, she gets the credit. Topics that are listed are:
Aphrodite, Zeus, Buddha, Druids, Zarathustra, Sun Myung Moon, Temple,
Jesus, Egyptians, Dagon, Hari Krishna, Bubastes, Cabala, Mogan David,
Boris Godunov, Shinto, Castaneda, Azathoth, Parsi, Conan(Onan),
Coven, Benares, Thor And Odin, Voodoo, Valkyries, Northwoods, Nirvana,
Jehova, Loki, Enlil, Mithras, Yuggoth, Astarte, Hephaestus, Valhalla,
Popacatapetl, Gods Of Cargo, Hades

1) We will pray to Aphrodite.
She's cute but a little flighty
In her flimsy see-through nightie,
And that's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
1a) In the church of Aphrodite,
The priestess wears a see through nightie,
She's a mighty righteous sightie,
And she's good enough for me!
(Chorus)
2) We will pray to Father Zeus
In his temple we'll hang loose
Eating roast beef au jus,
And that's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
3) We will pray just like the Druids
Drinking strange fermented fluids
Running naked through the wo-ods,
And that's good enough for me.
[Alternative third line: Running naked but for wo-ads]
(Chorus)
4) My roommate worships Buddha.
There is no idol cuter.
Comes in copper, bronze, and pewter,
And that's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
5) We will worship Sun Myung Moon
Though we know he is a goon.
All our money he'll have soon.
And that's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
6) We will go down to the temple,
Sit on mats woven of hemp(le),
Try to set a good exemple [sic],
And that's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
7) We will finally pray to Jesus,
From our sins we hope he frees us,
Eternal life he guarantees us,
And that's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
8) Let us pray to Zarathustra
Let us pray just like we useta
I'm a Zarathustra boosta
It's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
9) Let us pray like the Egyptians
Build pyramids to put our crypts in
Fill our subways with inscriptions
It's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
10) If it's good enough for Dagon
That conservative old pagan
Who still votes for Ronald Reagan
It's good enough for me
(Chorus)
11) We will have a mighty orgy,
In the honor of Astarte
It will be one helluva party
And it's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
12) We will sacrifice to Yuggoth
We will sacrifice to Yuggoth
Burn a candle for Yog-Sothoth
And the Goat with a thousand young.
(Chorus)
13) We will all be saved by Mithras
We will all be saved by Mithras
Slay the bull and play the zithras
On that resurrection day.
(Chorus)
14) We will all bow down to Enlil
We will all bow down to Enlil
Pass your cup and get a refill
With bold Gilgamesh the brave.
(Chorus)
15) It was good enough for Loki
It was good enough for Loki
He thinks Thor's a little hokey
And he's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
16) We will all go to Nirvana
We will all go to Nirvana
Make a left turn at Savannah
And we'll see the Promised Land.
(Chorus)
17) It was good for old Jehova
He had a son who was a nova
Hey there, Mithras move on ova'
A new resurrection day.
(Chorus)
18) Where's the gong gang? I can't find it
I think Northwoods is behind it
For they've always been cymbal minded
Yet they're good enough for me.
(Chorus)
19) I hear Valkyries a-comin
In the air their song is coming
They forgot the words they're humming
Yet they're good enough for me.
(Chorus)
20) There are people into voodoo
There are people into voodoo
I know I do; I hope you do
And it's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
21) It was good for Thor and Odin
It was good for Thor and Odin
Grab an axe and get your woad on
And it's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
22) If your rising sign is Aries
You'll be taken by the faeries
Meet the Buddha in Benares
Where he'll hit you with a pie.
(Chorus)
23) There will be a lot of lovin'
When we're gathered in our coven.
Quit your pushin' and your shovin'
So there'll be room enough for me.
(Chorus)
24) There are followers of Conan.
There are followers of Conan.
They're all followers of Onan
Yet they're good enough for me.
(Chorus)
25) It could be that you're a Parsi.
It could be that you're a Parsi.
Walk on by her; you'll get in free
And you're good enough for me.
(Chorus)
26) Azathoth is in his Chaos.
Azathoth is in his Chaos.
Now if only he don't sway us,
Then that's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
27) Just like Carlos Casteneda,
Just like Carlos Casteneda,
It'll get you sooner or later
And it's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
28) There are some who practice Shinto.
There are some who practice Shinto.
There's no telling what we're into
But that's good enough for me.

We will venerate Bubastes.
If you like us then just ask us,
And that's good enough for me.

We will all sing Hari Krishna.
It's not mentioned in the mishna
But that's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
31) We will read from the Cabala.
We will read from the Cabala.
It won't get you in Valhalla,
Yet it's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
32) If you think that you'll be sa-ved,
If you think that you'll be sa-ved,
If you follow Mogan David,
You're not good enough for me.
(Chorus)
33) It's the opera written for us.
We will all join in the chorus.
It's the opera about Boris
Which is Godunov for me.
(Chorus)
34) There is room enough in Hades
For lots of criminals and shadies
And disreputable ladies,
And they're good enough for me.
(Chorus)
35) To the tune of Handel's "Largo"
We will hymn the gods of cargo
'Til they slap on an embargo
And that's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
36) Praise to Popacatapetl
Just a tiny cigarette'll
put him in terrific fettle
so he's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
37) We will drive up to Valhalla
riding Beetles, not Impalas
singing "Deutschland Uber Alles"
and that's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
38) We will all bow to Hephaestus
As a blacksmith he will test us
'cause his balls are pure asbestos
so he's good enough for me.
