Just when I think that there's nothing to write about, the boys' preschool comes through for me. They're having a fundraiser now and instead of pizza kits or cookies they're offering selections from a catalog of inspirational materials. My jaw dropped and my fingers started itching to type when i saw the Bibleman collectible Action Figures. You just can't make this stuff up, folks.

The Bibleman Theme Song
(With my apologies to the webbed one.)
Bibleman, Bibleman
Rosary in his hand
Spouting verse, benedictions
Watching o'er congregations
Look out!
Here comes the Bibleman
Is he wise? Listen hun,
He's as good as Solomon
Can he run confessional?
Like a true professional
Look out!
There goes the Bibleman
When Satan rears his head
And there's danger to the flock
He's there to break the bread
In his cassock and a frock
Bibleman, Bibleman
Savin' your soul, Why? Because he must
Bibleman, Bibleman
Savin' immortality, yeah, In God we trust
Look out!
Mortal life is just parole
Cause heaven is his goal
That's right, he's Bibleman!

All right... I gotta chime in here.
You are letting your catholic background influence you way (way) too much. I beleive Bible man is a protestant, dude.
Come on, G. You know my Mom. Do you really think I can keep all of the religions she practiced in my youth neatly separated? I was almost 12 before I figured out I wasn't Jewish.
Besides, the Protestants don't have any cool ceremony stuff to put in a song.
Some sects of protestants do have a lot of pomp and circumstance. But, this is nto the place for that discussion. As for less Catholic sounding lyrics, try something like this:
Bible Man, Bible Man,
Holy Scripture in his hand,
He'll pray with you and save your soul,
No matter what lies you've told...
Your reborn -- in the eyes of the Lord,
Your reborn -- in the eyes of the Lord!
That follows a much more protestant line of thinking, if you ask me. And, if I may be so bold, the lyrics are better than your originals. :-P
Yep,
I also noticed the X-TREME Catholicness of your Bible-Man theme song. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Maybe so, but it's way more fun to poke fun at Catholicism.
Bibleman shares a vague resemblance with the Tick.
What would his war cry be? "Spoon!" just wouldn't cut it. Maybe "Chalice!" or "Wafer!" would be a good fit.
