Ray Stevens sang

A little song*

About a church

Where much was wrong.

One day, to put them in a twirl

The Lord decided

To send a squirrel.

The squirrel got in

And ran amuck

Tried to get out

But he was stuck.

He jumped around

From pew to pew

And sins exposed

To full plain view.

The people all dropped 

To their knees

And prayed the Lord would help them, please.

From gossipping they would repent

If He'd take back the squirrel He sent.

They woudn't judge, nor be a snob

Christian love would be their job.

Gentle reader, the message hear

I beg you, heed a warning clear

For if you sit smug in your pew

A squirrel may come

To a church near you.
