Verse 2: Payin' for the gas he wickedly shouted thanks And continued on his journey once again Just about that time a siren fast approachin'' and The pot bellied sheriff he whizzed right in With his self inflicted grammar started shoutin' Accusations at the long haired greasy looking ape While a local D.J. from the fifty watt station got The whole damn thing on tape Repeat Chorus Repeat Intro. Verse 3: The holy roller preacher told the eager congregation That the devil has passed right through their nest But the teenage girls with their locks in curls were Talkin' 'bout that hair upon his chest Now the kids got their cookie while the preacher saved some souls And the story spread to everyone in sight Commotion was the word and everybody heard He was gone before the night Repeat Chorus -- Please send comments or corrections to Archonian@yahoo.com
