The Tiger Lillies - Jesus On the Windshield Lyrics

Which goes to show what’s most despisedMay well one day be highly prizedThe Sniggles back in ’45One day went out for a ride‘Omletta, get in the back seat’Said Uncle to his little niece‘But on the windshield is Jesus’‘Omletta, don’t be ridiculous.’But neither sponge nor razor bladeAny effect on the windshield madeWhen Father Slackjaw he pass byMother Mary she asked why‘Look at Jesus’, said the little girlThe priest said ‘it’s a miracle’The windshield is put in the village hallAnd all the newspapers are calledThe crowds they grew, how they grewMiracle cures they had them tooIce creams, T-shirts, plates and cupsThe sales figures went up and upThe Sniggles built a house and smiledCarpeted it in shaggy pileBut sadly Omletta she did dieBut it's a moral certaintyThat sometimeAt the end of this centuryOr the beginning of the nextShe will soon be canonised
