One day about or five years ago We is at the Conoco station Kickin' tires, and swattin' And the state of the Union
When right out in front of the church a big old purple school bus Had astrological upon it And thirty-five and dogs inside
About half of 'em went for the courthouse And them dogs on the fireplug Rest of 'em set there at us And I says, "Roy, go get flit gun"
He says, "Which is the hippies?" And is the dogs?" I says, "Beats the out of me, Roy" What they was, was a a' them crispy critters And their leader was a cadet
He says, "Sagittarius, we has to disembark, men Get the goin' and the sitar out We gonna in the city park, man"
I says, "Boys, let me explain the to ya A, gettin' me down And B, we got us a law here And C, you in the town"
"You drop one a' beads in that there park And you gonna see a whole lot of You got fifteen to get out of town, boys Or we gonna ya to Mars"
Well, all got back in the purple bus And proceeded to the city the telephone rang, was the swimmin' pool Says a a' wild critters was in it
So we all got in the Marshal's Which is always at the station Went flashin' on to the swimmin' pool To give critters a citation
By the time we arrived, it was too damn Them critters is all had pants down Them dogs was tearin' the apart And after the fish in the fish pond

Six later, there was nothin' in town But eighty-four dogs and a head Sellin' dried up weeds, and seeds And postcards
Yeah, critters took over the Council And the dogs all barked brains out And the whole town was crispy critters And the mayor was a cadet
