Well, what happened next is hard to tell

others thought it was hell

But the fact that somethin'
was among us
was plain to see
As the choir sang, I Surrender
All, the squirrel run up
Harv Dillon's coveralls

and said,

Something's got a hold on me!

But you should have seen the
D
when that squirrel jumped
her garters
and crossed her thighs
F
and she jumped to her feet
G
C
and said, Lord, have mercy on me.
Am
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 dissension,

D
was when she talked about her love life,
G
and then she started naming names
C
the day the squirrel went berserk
D
in the First Self -Righteous Church
F
G

In that sleepy little town of Pascagoula

and even without an invitation

Now you've heard the Bible story

I guess how he parted the waters

for Moses to pass all the miracles

fusing, shouting, hallelujah
