Mississippi Squirrel Revival - Ray Stevens



Well when I was a kid I would take a trip

every Summer down to "Mississipp," to visit

my Granny and 'er "Auntie Belluam World."

I'd run barefooted all-day long, climbing

trees free as a song; One day I happened

to catch myself a squirrel.

Well I stuffed him down

in an old shoe box, and punched a couple

holes in the top; When Sunday came I snuck em'

in the Church. I sittin' way back on the very

last pew showin em' to my good buddy Hugh,

when that squirrel got loose and went totally

buzzerk.

Well what happened next is hard to tell;

some thought it was Heaven others thought

it was Hell, but the fact that something was

among was plain to see.

As the choir sang " I Surrender All", the

squirrel ran up Harv Newman's coveralls, and

Harv leaped to his feet and said something's got

a hold on me yeeeooow!



CHORUS



The day the squirrel went buzzerk in the

First Self-Righteous Church in that sleepy little

town of Pascagoula. It was a fight for survival

that broke out in revival. They were jumpin' pews

and shoutin' "Hallelujah".



VERSE 2



Well Harv hit the aisles dancin' and screamin'.

Some thought he had Religion others thought

he had a demon, and Harv thought he had a

weed-eater loose in his fruit-of-the-looms.

He fell to his knees to plead and beg, and the

squirrel ran out of his britchy-leg; unobserved

to the otherside of the room.

All the way down to the AMEN pew, where sat

"Sister Bertha Better-than-You", who had been

watching all of the commotion with sufistic glee.

But shoot, you should have seen the look in her eyes

when that squirrel jumped her garders and crossed her

thighs. And she jumped
