"Mississippi Squirrel Revival" is a Ray Stevens song about a young boy's visit to The First Self Rightous Church in Pascagoula, Mississippi . While in Pascagoula, he finds a Squirrel which he takes to church in a shoebox. The squirrel gets out when he tries to show it to one of his friends, and the church gets turned around by the crazed squirrel, leading the congregation into a hyperbolic revival of devotion to God through a comical series of events. The song describes memorable situations such as Sister Bertha Betterthanyou confessing to sins that would make a "sailor blush with shame". |
