Pastor LongJohn and Brother Balladeer
Were driving much too fast
Their speeding affected mileage
They soon ran out of gas

Balladeer had spied a farmhouse
Not too far up the way
Thought they might get some gas
So they kneeled and prayed

The farmer had some gasoline
But no can to put some in
He had a well used bedpan
He'd borrowed from a friend

They took the gas up to their car
And were pouring in the gas
A Baptist preacher stopped to look
And breathed a heavy gasp.

I'm not familiar with your religion
But I just have to say
You have the strongest faith I've seen
In all my preaching days.

It must be a car of the future, Mr.Toe...
I heard that they were going to replace gasoline with methane.
