[00:00.000] 作曲 : Cyrus "Buddy" Kalb/Charlene Kalb
[00:09.630] Well when I was kid I'd take a trip
[00:11.671] Every summer, down to Mississip
[00:14.112] To visit my granny in her antebellum world
[00:17.110]
[00:18.361] I'd run barefooted all day long
[00:20.704] Climbing trees free as a song
[00:22.946] One day I happened catch myself a squirrel
[00:25.811]
[00:27.208] Well I stuffed him down in an old shoebox
[00:29.569] Punched a couple holes in the top when Sunday came
[00:32.924] I snuck him into church
[00:34.599]
[00:36.294] I was sittin' way back in the very last pew
[00:38.473] Showin' him to my good buddy Hugh
[00:40.470] When that squirrel got loose and went totally berserk!
[00:43.364] (Totally nuts)
[00:44.849]
[00:45.141] Well what happened next is hard to tell
[00:47.176] Some thought it was Heaven others thought it was Hell
[00:49.374] But the fact that something was among us was plain to see (plain to see)
[00:53.456]
[00:53.873] As the choir sang "I Surrender All"
[00:56.006] Squirrel ran up Harv Newlan's coveralls
[00:58.130] Harv leaped to his feet and said
[00:59.644] "Somethin's got a hold on me! Yeow!"
[01:01.833]
[01:02.396] The day the squirrel went berserk
[01:04.782] In the First Self-Righteous Church
[01:07.135] In that sleepy little town of Pascagoula (Pascagoula)
[01:11.094] It was a fight for survival
[01:13.782] That broke out in revival
[01:15.959] They were jumpin pews and shouting Hallelujah! (Hallelujah)
[01:20.182]
[01:20.901] Well, Harv hit the aisles dancin' and screamin'
[01:22.742] Some thought he had religion
[01:23.931] Others thought he had a demon
[01:25.038] And Harv thought he had a weed eater loose in his Fruit-Of-The-Looms
[01:28.593] (In his drawers)
[01:29.259]
[01:29.665] He fell to his knees to plead and beg
[01:31.580] And the squirrel ran out of his britches leg
[01:33.748] Unobserved, to the other side of the room (there he goes)
[01:37.795]
[01:38.404] All the way down to the amen pew
[01:40.626] Where sat Sister Bertha better-than-you
[01:42.715] Who'd been watchin' all the commotion with sadistic glee
[01:45.876]
[01:47.309] Well you should've seen the look in her eyes
[01:49.378] When that squirrel jumped her garters and crossed her thighs
[01:51.542] She jumped to her feet and said "Lord have mercy on me" (Lord almighty!)
[01:55.040]
[01:56.012] As the squirrel made laps inside her dress
[01:58.305] She began to cry and then to confess to sins that would make a sailor blush with shame
[02:03.275] (There once was a sailor filled with shame)
[02:04.896]
[02:05.217] She told of gossip and church dissension
[02:07.226] But the thing that got the most attention
[02:09.371] Was when she talked about her love life
[02:11.389] And then she started naming names!
[02:13.356]
[02:13.614] The day the squirrel went berserk
[02:16.197] In the First Self-Righteous Church
[02:18.152] In that sleepy little town of Pascagoula (Pascagoula)
[02:22.167] It was a fight for survival
[02:24.895] That broke out in revival
[02:26.952] They were jumpin' pews and shouting Hallelujah! (Hallelujah)
[02:30.959]
[02:31.549] Well seven deacons and the pastor got saved
[02:33.876] And twenty-five thousands dollars got raised
[02:36.485] And fifty volunteered for missions in the Congo on the spot
[02:39.845]
[02:40.427] And even without an invitation
[02:42.622] There were at least five hundred re-dedications
[02:44.940] And we all got re-baptized whether we needed it or not
[02:48.211]
[02:49.450] Now you've heard the Bible stories I guess
[02:51.605] How He parted the waters for Moses to pass
[02:53.834] All the miracles God has brought to this ol' world
[02:57.133]
[02:58.235] But the one I'll remember to my dyin' day
[03:00.541] Is how he put that church back on the narrow way
[03:02.779] With a half-crazed Mississippi squirrel (Hallelujah)
[03:05.824]
[03:06.754] The day the squirrel went berserk
[03:09.025] In the First Self-Righteous Church
[03:11.659] In that sleepy little town of Pascagoula (Pascagoula)
[03:15.415] It was a fight for survival
[03:18.181] That broke out in revival
[03:20.266] They were jumpin pews and shouting Halelujah! (Halelujah)
[03:24.341]
[03:24.625] The day the squirrel went berserk
[03:26.843] In the First Self-Righteous Church
[03:29.650] In that sleepy little town of Pascagoula (Pascagoula)
[03:33.232] It was a fight for survival
[03:35.952] That broke out in revival
[03:37.930] They were jumpin pews and shouting Halelujah! (Halelujah!)
[03:42.207] They were jumpin pews and shouting Halelujah! (Halelujah!)
