Folks, I've been waiting years to find out what the lyrics are.
Keep those cards & letters coming.  Let me add the following:

 		I don't care if it rains or freezes,
 		long as I got my plastic Jesus,
 		sittin' on the dashboard of my car,
		Comes in colors pink and pleasant,
		Shines at night 'cause it's iridescent.
		Take it with me when I travel far...

		All I want's a sweet Madonna
		Crown of gold and (robes?) upon 'er
		(sitting on the dashboard of my car?)

Sounds to me like the lines about "ass" belong in the first stanza
and the lines about "pink" belong in the second.  Hope I jogged
someone's memory as I am anxious to get the definitive version of
these lyrics!  :-) Adele
