Crispy Critters - C.W. McCall
One day about four or five years ago We is settin' at the Conoco station Kickin' tires, and swattin' flies, And discussin' the State of the Union When right out in front of the Baptist church Come a big ol' purple school bus Had astrological signs upon it And thirty-five hippies and dogs inside About half of 'em went for the courthouse lawn And them dogs commenced on the fireplug Rest of 'em set there starin' at us And I says, "Roy, go get your Flit gun" He says, "Which is the hippies? And which is the dogs?" I says, "Beats the hell outta me, Roy." What they was, was a bunch a' them Crispy Critters And their leader was a space cadet He says, "Sagittarius, we has arrived. "Prepare to disembark, men. "Get the incense goin' and the sitar out "We gonna camp in the city park, man." I says, "Boys, let me explain the situation to ya. "A: you're gettin' me down "And B: we got us a leash law here "And C: you in the wrong town. "You drop one string a' beads in that there park "And you gonna see a whole lotta stars. "You got fifteen seconds to get out of town, boys, "Or we gonna blow ya ta Mars." Well, they all got back in the purple bus And proceeded to the city limits. Then the telephone rang, was the swimmin' pool Says a mess a' wild Critters was in it! So we all got in the Marshal's Plymouth (Which is always at the Conoco station) Went flashin' on down to the swimmin' pool To give them Critters a citation By the time we arrived, it was too damn late Them critters is all had their pants down Them dogs was tearin' the bathhouse apart, And they's after the fish in the fish pond! I says, "Roy, you get the one in the silver T-shirt "And I'll get the rest with a net. "We gonna have a jail full a' naked Crispy Critters
