ridin' down the thoroughfare
with a nose up in the air
he just keeps his eye on me
and any other thing that lies behind
i said with my plastic jesus
sitting on the dashboard of my car
when i'm in a traffic jam
he don't care if i say damn
i can let all my curses roll
'cos jesus' plastic doesn't hear
'cos he has a plastic ear
the man who invented plastic
i said with my plastic jesus
sitting on the dashboard of my car
an if i weave around at night
policemen think i'm very tight
they never find my bottle
'cos plastic jesus shelters me
for his head comes off you see
he's hollow and i use him like a flask
i don't care if it's dark or scary
long as i got magnetic mary
ridin' on the dashboard of my car
i feel that i'm protected amply
i've got the love of the whole damn family
ridin' on the dashboard of my car
and i said with my plastic jesus
i said sittin' on the dashboard of my car
when i'm goin' fornicatin'
i've got my ceramic satan
sittin' on the dashboard of my car
women know i'm on the level
thanks to the wide-eyed stoneware devil
sneerin' from the dashboard of my car
