HUMOROUS RELIGIOUS SONG

THEY PLAYED THE GAME ON SATURDAY
IN THE DEVIL'S OWN BACKYARD
WITH JESUS PLAYING QUARTERBACK AND
MOSES PLAYING GUARD
THE ANGELS IN THE GRANDSTAND
GAVE OUT A MIGHTY YELL
WHEN JESUS SCORED A TOUCHDOWN
AGAINST THE BOYS FROM HELL.

REFRAIN:
ROCK 'EM, SOCK 'EM, JESUS BLOCK 'EM.
GO, CHRIST, GO.
