I first heard the lyrics of Plastic Jesus from the following quote on Bash.org:

<skippy> Plastic Jesus he’s my fellow,comes in red and sometimes yellow….ridin’ on the dashboard of my car.
<skippy> I don’t care if it rains or freezes,I still got my plastic Jesus…..
<skippy> He don’t slip and he don’t slide…mainly cuase he’s magnetized…..

Dashboard Deity

Plastic Jesus, he’s my fellow
Comes in red and sometimes yellow
Sitting on the dashboard of my car

Don’t care if it rains or freezes
‘Cause I’ve got my plastic Jesus
Weather will not my pal’s beauty mar

He can’t slip & he can’t slide
Mainly ’cause he’s magnetized
Bobble-toy who died to save our sins.

I found mine by the road one day
Now over me does he survey
Bouncing out the tales of where he’s been.

So when heading down life’s highway
Do your best to see things my way
This synthetic savior is your man

Nevermore be sad or dreary
His strong grip will not grow weary
Plastic Jesus is your diehard fan!
