Good for God Songtext
von Harry Nilsson

Our Father who art in Heaven, eh

The other day a friend of mine said
He said that God′s not even with us
He said that God is really dead
He said "Oh pal, a fact's a fact
You can′t believe that magic act"
I said "I don't" and that was that

Now, I say
Good for God
Good for God
He goes and makes the planet blue
And all the thanks he gets from you
Is look at all that pooh-pooh in the yard

Good for God
Their life bearer's very hard
He knows each time a sparrow falls
Believe He′ll answer all his calls
Good for God


Good for God
I bet He′s got a very hard job
I'm awfully glad I′m here to say
He made it possible for me to be here to say
"Good for God"

Instrumental

(Good for God) Good Lord!
(Good for God) Good God Almighty!
He got no mama
He got no papa
(Good for God)

Now, the other day another friend of mine said
He said "Sun's going yellow
Pretty soon we′ll all be dead"
I said "My friend, what do you mean?
You must be living in a museum
And things are never as they seem"

Good for God
Good for God
Now, if truth is truth
It's easy to know the truth
That′s the truth so help me God
Good for God


Good for God
Good for God
He's got a hard job
And before they put me in the hole
I pray to God I'll find a big loophole (Hallelujah)
Good (Good for God) mm
Good for God

Say it
Good for God (Jesus Christ)
I bet He drove the little girls wild (Good for God)
You know it′s alright, He′s on our side
It must be looking good for us, you know what I mean?
(Good for God) We'd do the same to Him
It′s okay that's why they call Him God
You know what I mean? (Yes)
(Good for God) Right, Ahh, bring it home, baby
(Good for God)
