Scent Of A Mule Lyrics
Kitty Malone sat on a mule,was riding in style
When suddenly, like the sound of a buzzard's breaking
Kity felt laser beams being fired at her head
She said, "I hate laser beams
And you never done see me askin'
For a UFO in Tomahawk County"
Well she kicked the mule and it walked the path
And the aliens fired from behind
Till she stopped the mule and she kicked the rump
And the big old mule took a big old dump
Scent of a mule, you better watch out where you go
Take your laser beams away
Scent of a mule, you better watch out where you go
You better stop that laser game
Or you'll smell my mule
She felt the fire against her neck and it saddened her to feel it burn
When suddenly, like the sound of a breeding Holstein
Kitty said, "Stop, we ain't lookin' for fightin'
In Tomahawk County."
A little guy from the UFO
Came on out and said his name was Joe
She said, "Come on over for some lemonade
Just follow me now with the whole brigade"
repeat chorus
They walked into her cabin shack, they had never seen a southern home
And they liked it, better than their UFO
They liked it, they really liked it
They said, "Here's a place of elegance
Here we shower ourselves in lightness"
repeat chorus

favorite Phish song. Also the only country song I know with laser beams in it.
Aliens, rednecks, Mule shit, and my fav Phish line EVER:
"Here's a place of elegance Here we shower ourselves in lightness"
I LOVE THIS SONG! One of my favorites live! My best friends name is Kitty Malone!
Leave it to Phish to come up with a bluegrass song, played at breakneck speed, about a UFO invasion of the American south, one that's thwarted when the heroine shows them her "southern home"..."and they liked it, they really liked it"!
This song is a treat in concert(for those who have not had the privilege of having heard this live, pick up Live Phish 02)...Trey and Mike have what's known as a "Mule Duel" in of all styles Klezmer. Brilliant fun, to say the least.
