Actually, I think it's "My flag boy / your flag boy---"

(The flag boy is a member of a tribe's procession at Mardi Gras.)

So's the spy-boy, as was mentioned in the 2nd link I linked.

There's a number of versions of this song, and there's different people

mentioned, both at the beginning of the song and later on.

Woke up this mornin', turned on the t.v. set.

there in livin' color, was somethin' I can't forget.

This man was preachin' at me, yeah, layin' on the charm

askin' me for twenty, with ten-thousand on his arm.

He wore designer clothes, and a big smile on his face

tellin' me salvation while they sang Amazin' Grace.

Askin' me for money, when he had all the signs of wealth.

I almost wrote a check out, yeah, then I asked myself

Would Jesus Wear a Rolex by Ray Stevens

Woke up this mornin', turned on the t.v. set.

there in livin' color, was somethin' I can't forget.

This man was preachin' at me, yeah, layin' on the charm

askin' me for twenty, with ten-thousand on his arm.

He wore designer clothes, and a big smile on his face

tellin' me salvation while they sang Amazin' Grace.

Askin' me for money, when he had all the signs of wealth.

I almost wrote a check out, yeah, then I asked myself

(chorus)

Would He wear a pinky ring, would He drive a brand new car?

Would His wife wear furs and diamonds, would His dressin' room have a star?

If He came back tomorrow, well there's somethin' I'd like to know

Could ya tell me, Would Jesus wear a Rolex on His television show.

Would Jesus be political if He came back to earth?

Have His second home in Palm Springs, yeah, a try to hide His worth?

Take money, from those poor folks, when He comes back again,

and admit He's talked to all them preachers who say they been a talkin' to Him?

(chorus)

Just ask ya' self, Would He wear a pinky ring,

Would He drive a brand new car?

Would His wife wear furs and diamonds, would His dressing room have a star?

If He came back tomorrow, well there's somethin' I'd like to know:

Could ya tell me, would Jesus wear a Rolex,

Would jesus wear a Rolex

Would Jesus wear a Rolex

On His television show-ooh-ooh?

How about this one?

And when I go away
