The Mississippi Squirrel Revival Lyricsby Ray Stevens Buy album CD: Box Set 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 the squirrel made 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 disention, But the thing that got the most attention Is when she talked about her love life Then she started naming names! The day the squirrel went berserk. In the First Self-Righteous Church Of that sleepy little town of Pascagoula. It was a fight for survival, That broke out in revival. They were jumpin pews and shouting Halelujah! Well seven deacons and the pastor got saved And 25, 000 dollars got raised. And 50 volunteered for missions in the Congo On the spot. And even without and invitaion There were at least 500 rededications. And we ALL got rebaptised whether we needed it or not. Well you've heard the Bible stories I guess Of how he parted the waters for Moses to pass. All th miracles God has brought to this l' world. But the one I'll remember to my dyin day Is how he put that church back on the narrow way With a half crazed Mississippi Squirrel The day the squirrel went berserk. In the First Self-Righteous Church Of that sleepy little town of Pascagoula. It was a fight for survival, That broke out in revival. They were jumpin pews and shouting Halelujah!
