C
I don't care if it
Rains or freezes
    G
As long as I got my
Plastic Jesus
 F
Ridin' on the dashboard
       C G
Of my car

Through my trials
And tribulations
And my travels
Through the nation
With my plastic Jesus
I'll go far

Ridin' down the thoroughfare
With a nose up in the air
A wreck may be ahead
But he don't mind

Trouble comin'
He don't see
He just keeps his eye on me
And any other thing that lies behind

Chorus:
C                G
With my plastic Jesus
 F          C        G
Goodbye and I'll go far
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' plastico doesn't hear
'Cos he's got a plastic ear
The man who invented plastic
Saved my soul

Chorus

Am              G                Am                  G
And if I weave around at night, policeman think I'm very tight,
      F                                C G
they never find my bottle, though they ask
       Am             G           Am                G
cause plastic Jesus shelters me, for his head comes off you see,
      F                           C G             C
He's hollow and I use him like a flask uh oh wow wow..

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

Chorus

Outro
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
