Missippi Squirel Revival Lyrics

Missippi Squirel Revival lyrics

VERSE 1

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 to
her feet and said,"Lord have 
mercy on me."
As that squirrel
mad laps inside her dress she began to 
cry and then to confess, to sins
that would make a 
sailor blush with shame. She told of gossip, and
church
desention, but thing that got the most attention was when 
she
told of her Love Life and then she Started naming
names.

CHORUS

VERSE 3

Well seven Deacons and then the
Pastor got saved, and 
twenty-five thousand dollars got raised, and fifty

volunteered for missions in the Congo on the spot.
And even without an
invitation there were at least 
five hundred rededications, and we all got

rebaptized whether we needed it or not.
Now you've heard the Bible
stories I guess of how he parted 
the waters for Moses to pass. Oh the
Miracles, God has 
wraught in this old world. But the one I'll remember till
my 
dying day is when He put that church back on the narrow way
with a
half crazed Mississippi squirrel. 

CHORUS (x2)
