Could someone write out the lyrics of that song? I get most of the text but there are parts which are not so clear for me.

God Drives A Volkswagen Thing
by the Asylum Street Spankers
(key of E)
I was toolin’ along down the speedway
My mind not thinkin’ a thing
Then I saw a vision of a holy roller
That’s when I started to sing
God drives a Volkswagen Thing
God drives a Volkswagen Thing
And it changes color when He changes his mood
God drives a Volkswagen Thing
Now Satan, he drives a Mercedes
It’s long and it’s black and it’s clean
And he slams on the brakes on the entrance ramp
Because he’s so dog-gone mean
God drives a Volkswagen Thing
God drives a Volkswagen Thing
And He never blocks up the passing lane
God drives a Volkswagen Thing
Now the Nazis, they built the Veedubya
So evil we still feel the sting
So when Jehovah wants to cruise around without gettin’ recognized
He drives his Volkswagen Thing
God drives a Volkswagen Thing
God drives a Volkswagen Thing
With Jesus His jack, and Vishnu His spare
God drives a Volkswagen Thing
Now Elvis, he gave away Cadillacs
Which is easy if you are “The King”
But God never bothers with a ra-di-o
From the backseat Elvis will sing...
God drives a Volkswagen Thing (dear Lord)
God drives a Volkswagen Thing
But it runs a flat nine in a quarter
God drives a Volkswagen Thing - hear them bells ring

For those that don't know, he's saying that it runs 9 seconds flat in a quarter mile - which means it can reach 150+ MPH within 9 seconds flat. But still doesn't hog the fast lane 
Probably a T4...

Then I guess it's true... God DOES work in mysterious ways!

the asylum street spankers were on NPR this morning. An excellent rendition of 'god drives a Volkswagen thing', apparently a studio recording you can download from
nprmusic.org
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=123412698
I loved it and had the lyrics on screen when it was being sung.

Gunna see them on the 16th. They are a wonderful live band.
I saw them a few years back.
*Correction, they will be around the 18th. D'oh!
