1)  Let us worship Aphrodite,
    Though we hear she's rather flighty
    Still she looks great in a nightie
    And that's good enough for me.

2)  We will pray to Father Zeus
    In his temple we'll hang loose
    Eating roast beef au jus,
    And that's good enough for me.

3)  Let us worship like the Druids
    Drinking strange fermented fluids
    Running naked through the wo-ods,
    And that's good enough for me.
[Alternative third line:  Running naked but for wo-ads]

4)  My roommate worships Buddha.
    There is no idol cuter.
    Comes in copper, bronze, and pewter,
    And that's good enough for me.

5)  We will worship Sun Myung Moon
    Though we know he is a goon.
    All our money he'll have soon.
    And that's good enough for me.

6)  We will go down to the temple,
    Sit on mats woven of hemp(le),
    Try to set a good exemple [sic],
    And that's good enough for me.

    From our sins we hope he frees us,
    Eternal life he guarantees us,
    And that's good enough for me.

8)  Let us pray to Zarathustra
    Let us pray just like we useta
    I'm a Zarathustra boosta

9)  Let us pray like the Egyptians
    Build pyramids to put our crypts in
    Fill our subways with inscriptions

    That conservative old pagan
    Who still votes for Ronald Reagan

    In the honor of Astarte
    It will be one helluva party
    And it's good enough for me.

    Carve the signs of Azag-Thoth
    Burn a candle for Yog-Sothoth

    We will all be saved by Mithras
    Slay the bull and play the zithras

    Hey there, Mithras move on ova'
    A new resurrection day.

    For they've always been cymbal minded
    Yet they're good enough for me.

    In the air their song is coming
    They forgot the words they're humming

    Frolic in her swimming pool
    Subjecting chaos to her rule
    And that's all right with me

    He says rich folks like old Croesus
    Will be damned until Hell freezes
    And that don't sound good to me.

One variant of the Loki verse (last digest) which I've heard is:

     Let us sing a praise to Loki
     The Norse God of Fire and Chaos
     Which is why this verse doesn't rhyme or scan
     But it's good enough for me
