Well a redneck nerd in a bowling shirt was a-guzzlin' Lone Star beer
        G              C            D                G
Talkin' religion and a-politics for all the world to hear

"They oughta send you back to Russia, boy, or New York City one,

You just want to doodle a Christian girl and you killed God's only son"

I said "has it occurred to you, you nerd, that that's not very nice?

Now they ain't making Jews like Jesus anymore
D7                                  C               G
They don't turn the other cheek the way they done before
   G                                           C
He started into shouting and a spitting on the floor

"Them n****rs, Jews and Sigma Nus all they ever do is breed"
     G                                       C
"Now wops and micks and slopes and spics and spooks are on my list

Is there anyone I missed?"

I says "I'm gonna get you, you son of a b***h, you spouting that pack of lies

Chorus

They ain't making Jews like Jesus anymore
We don't turn the other cheek the way they done before
You could hear that honky holler as he hit that hardwood floor
Lord, they ain't making Jews like Jesus anymore

Everybody

They ain't making Jews like Jesus anymore
They ain't making carpenters who know what nails is for
Well the whole damn place was singing as I strolled right out the door
Lord they ain't making Jews like Jesus anymore

Oh they ain't making Jews like Jesus anymore
We don't turn the other cheek the way they done before
Well the whole damn place was singing as I strolled right out the door
Lord they sure ain't making Jews like Jesus anymore
