JESUS WAS A MUSHROOM

Words and Music by Darryl Cherney

There was a (G) scholar from (C) England
He (G) got a call from the (C) Pope
He said (G) "Come on down to the (C) Vatican
To (D) analyze the Dead Sea Scrolls"
For (G) twenty years he (C) labored
All (G) alone in a little (C) room
And (G) when he came out he (D) promptly pronounced
That (C) Jesus was a (G) mushroom

Chorus:

(G) Jesus was a (C) mushroom, uh (G) huh
(G) Jesus was a mushroom, uh (D) huh
He was a (G) fungus (C) among us
(G) Born in a manger's (C) dung
(G) Jesus was a (D) mushroom, uh, (G) huh

Now as you can imagine
This did not please the pope
Who said "John M. Allegro
You've been smoking too much dope"
But John, he said "Your holiness
You and I are both adults
And the etymology clearly shows
The apostles were a mushroom cult"

Chorus

So how do you think that he walked on the water
How do you think that he raised the dead
It was just folks hallucinating
On the mushrooms they was fed
Why do you think that the Roman's feared him
Why do you think he was crucified
But you can not kill our savior
You just hang him up to dry!

Chorus
