Critters In The Corn
Prompt

There's critters in the corn again
There's critters in the corn
Them goddamn ETs worse than crows
There's varmints out in every row
How they git there damned if I know
There's critters in the corn

I tole 'em what I seen out there
I tole 'em what I seen
I tole 'em I seen JFK
That he ain't dead, he's in my hay
A pinko damn conspiracy
I tole 'em what I seen

I tole 'em Elvis lives down here
I tole 'em Elvis lives
He left the building, that's for sure
He stole my eggs and chickens too
He screwed my hound dog, Emmylou!
I tole 'em Elvis lives

They probed me in the ass last night
They probed me in the ass
They used this foot long hunk'a steel
You should'a heard me goddamn squeal
They must'a heard me in Mobile
They probed me in the ass

They've got Glenn Miller's head on show
They've got Glenn Miller's head
The Lindbergh baby, Hoffa too
My goddamn hound dog, Emmylou!
Amelia Earhart's got mildew
They've got Glenn Miller's head

I tole 'em o'er and o'er again
I tole 'em o'er and o'er
I tole the goddamn FBI
They said they'd fix it by and by
If they fix shit I'll be hogtied
I tole 'em o'er and o'er

Goddamn aliens always gettin' in my business...
