Build our pyramids to put our crypts in
Cover subways with inscriptions,
And that's good enough for me."

The correct answer is 'Old Time Religion'
Not the Baptist revival song. The fan version honors deities and mythologies of every kind, and runs well over 1000 verses, with new ones being created even as you read this. Some of the verses can get pretty raunchy, but for the most part they are publicly acceptable. The usual method of singing this is "'closed-book' style" if you can't remember any more verses, for everyone's sake stop singing it. It's usually abbreviated as OTR. It is especially popular with the SCA. My personal favorite verse is the one about the Valkyries. ("I hear Valkyries a-comin' / In the air their song is coming / They forgot the words - they're hummin' / Yet they're good enough for me!)
The Obligatory last verse:
"It's the opera written for us!
We will all join in the chorus!
It's the opera about Boris,
Which is Godunov for me!"
