Ray Stevens - Mississippi Squirrel Revival lyrics

Your rating:

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
