I saw you sittin' there
I was tryin' not to stare
I wasn't sure if it was you
I didn't know just what to do
[Chorus:]
Are you drinkin' with me Jesus
I can't see you very clear
Are you drinkin' with me Jesus
Would you buy a friend a beer
As I nestled on my barstool
I felt your warmness within
I looked down at my pants
That wasn't warmness
I wet myself again
[Chorus]
Does your head pound, Jesus
As hung over you do rise
How does paradise look, Jesus
Through holy bloodshot eyes
Should we take a cab home Jesus
Man, we can hoof it from here
I know you can walk on the water
But can you walk on this much beer
Are you drinkin' with me Jesus
I can't see you very clear
I was tryin' not to stare
I wasn't sure if it was you
I didn't know just what to do
[Chorus:]
Are you drinkin' with me Jesus
I can't see you very clear
Are you drinkin' with me Jesus
Would you buy a friend a beer
As I nestled on my barstool
I felt your warmness within
I looked down at my pants
That wasn't warmness
I wet myself again
[Chorus]
Does your head pound, Jesus
As hung over you do rise
How does paradise look, Jesus
Through holy bloodshot eyes
Should we take a cab home Jesus
Man, we can hoof it from here
I know you can walk on the water
But can you walk on this much beer
Are you drinkin' with me Jesus
I can't see you very clear

Now if we could just get some Pailhead on RP!!! ;-)
Please NEVER play this garbage again! There is so much great music out there that's never been played, why disturb our senses with this craptastia?
Mojo & Skip. And Jello too. The first two were a breath of zany fresh air back in the 80's or so. Gotta love 'em. Paint My Face on a Nuclear Bomb, I Hate Banks, Living with a Three Foot Anti-Christ -- all classics in their own right. Yesiree!
I like the Country Dick version better. Still good and irreverent.

I believe Mojo Nixon's exact words were, "The man's got balls the size of church bells." :)
He still does the song, but now it's called, "Phil Collins Must Die." No argument from me there.
Poor Phil. He's actually done some good songs but got overhyped/played by FM radio.
I remember hearing about "Don Henley Must Die" but have never heard it. Was this about the time that Mojo put out "I Ain't Gonna Piss in No Jar"?

If you don't have Mojo Nixon, your store could use some fixin'. Not sure if Jesus drinks, but I'm sure he's there no matter how many you put back and still loves you even when you say something off color and stupid. Everyone else around you is another story.... Here's a country song w/ a similar theme --->
Gotta love Mojo....2 personal faves are Elvis Is Everywhere and Shane's Dentist
More Mojo please!
thanks a billion for posting those lyrics ScottfromWyoming, how cool I got to hear some mojo and jello!!!
A piss poor imitation of Country Dick Montana and the Beat Farmers version. Now that one was awsome.

Very funny.
Mojo Nixon used to do a song, with Skid Roper, called Don Henley Must Die. One time when he was playing it, Don Henley was there, and came on stage and sang backup vocals. Mojo later said that he would no longer play the song because he found Don to be a good guy. Check out the lyrics to Don Henley Must Die sometime, and you'll see how funny it was that Henley sang backup vocals.
Mojo Nixon wrote:This is the sound of my brain
Then I said -This is the sound of my brain on Don Henley
Then I said -One two three four
He's a tortured artist
Used to be in the eagles
Now he whines like a wounded beagle
Poet of despair
Puffed up with hot air
He's serious, pretentious and I just don't care
Don henley must die
Don't let him get back together
With Glenn Frey, Don Henley must die
Cut on the TV
And what did I see
This bloated hairy thing winnin' a grammy
Huah
Best rock vocalist
Compared to what
Bunch of pseudo-serious Kraft angst-a-matic
Satanic plot
Don Henley Must die
Put a sharp stick in his eye, don henley must die
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
Oh
Quit playin' that crap
YouÃre out of the band
I'm only kidding, can't you tell?
I love his sensitve music
Idiot poetry swell
You and your kind
Are killin' rock and roll
It's not because youÃre o-l-d
--Cause you ain't
Got no soul
Don't be afraid of fun
Loosen up your ponytail
Be wild, young
Free and-a
Get your head
Outta your tail
Don Henley
Must die
DonÃt let him get back together
With Glenn Frey
Don Henley
Must die
Put him in the electric chair
Watch him fry, Don Henley must die
Don Henley must die
Ah ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
No Eagles reunion
The same goes for you too Sting
Ah
Oh

Not quite as inspiring as "I Saw Jesus at McDonald's at Midnight" with Skid Roper, but it will do....
Love it! ..... Don Henly must Die? I've gotta hear that one!
KAC
oooo! does anyone have "elvis is everywhere" by these guys that they cd upload?
happy happy happy
This reminds me of Wesley Willis....
JELLLLO BIAAAFRA! :D
Perhaps not as inspirational as Mojo Nixon's "Don Henley Must Die" (In Henley's defense, he did come on stage and sing it with Mojo at a show in Austin about 10 years ago), but it ain't bad.
You don't know who Mojo Nixon is your store could use some fix'n!!!
What a combo!!! Hoo-ahhh!!
More Mojo Nixon! I remember a great song about BBQ.
Jello and Mojo are totally rockin' on this one. love it.
