For whatever reason, a couple of songs I heard performed by Christian youth choruses popped into my head. Does anyone know the lyrics to them?

1st one:  
\*Sunday child, don’t be a Sunday child  
On Sunday s/he is quite a saint  
On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and  
Friday, Saturday a sain’t s/he ain’t

Give attention to [someone] O’Toole  
[S]He is [something] at our Sunday school  
[She/He] leaves the church before [something about a rule]  
[S]He is a Sunday child too\*  
2nd one:  
_Eat, drink, laugh and be merry  
Live for the moment; the limit’s the sky  
Make your own rules, and never say die  
And crucify him! Crucify him!_  
Why would I, of all people, want to know about Christian songs? Eh, go figure. But you know how it is when things get into your head.  
EDIT: I’ve just remembered where I heard the first one. Jeezoid cousin was in a choir when I was like five years old. ISTR that the second one had something to do with my dad’s friend’s daughter.
