parody on EVERYTHING STOPS FOR TEA

Do you know the parody " Everything stops for tea "song by Goodhart, Hoffman & Sigler ? Here is my rendition, see Youtube original :
"Now I know just  why Franz Schubert didn't finish his unfinished symphony, he might have written more but the clock struck four and everything stopped for tea.


Now I know just why Christ Jesus
never got round to explaining properly
he would have explained some more but he got hungry
and they all ate fish for tea

Now I know just why Christ Jesus
never got round to explaining properly
It was probably because we all evolved
And his culture was primitive intellectually

Oh I'm not sure why Christ Jesus
 never got round to explaining properly
But it might have been because there are no Gods
And he was just guessing; like you and me

Oh I'm not sure why Christ Jesus
 never got round to explaining properly
He might have told us more but the clock struck 12
And they all disappeared back to fantasy

No, I'm not sure why Christ Jesus
never got round to explaining properly
But  it might have been because the cock struck 3
And they all denied reality

Yes, I really wonder why Christ Jesus
never told us any useful science, history or technology
But it might have been because he never existed
And the whole thing is historical fiction fantasy

No, I'm not sure why Christ Jesus
never got round to explaining properly
But it might have been because the cock struck 6
and they all washed fervidly / fervently / frantically, take your pick
