The Lyrics
Ode to Snuffy Smith.
The other night dear, the dog was barking
I heard a rustling out by the still
I got my shotgun, scared off that poacher
And some lead, he got his fill
You are my moonshine, illegal moonshine
I'll shoot the thieves that dare to trespass
They'll never tell how much I am making
They can't run without an ass
Oh, those corn squeezin's, can really get you
Sometimes I can't see when I am pissed
Though me and my gun are both quite loaded
You'll find I almost never miss
You are my moonshine, my potent moonshine
I will protect you forevermore
Of course this land here, I could just sell it
And go buy a liquor store
I heard a rustling out by the still
I got my shotgun, scared off that poacher
And some lead, he got his fill
You are my moonshine, illegal moonshine
I'll shoot the thieves that dare to trespass
They'll never tell how much I am making
They can't run without an ass
Oh, those corn squeezin's, can really get you
Sometimes I can't see when I am pissed
Though me and my gun are both quite loaded
You'll find I almost never miss
You are my moonshine, my potent moonshine
I will protect you forevermore
Of course this land here, I could just sell it
And go buy a liquor store
hic!

I can't think of anything clever to say, just that I like it. 5-5-5
A funny twist to a rather sappy song.
All 5's!
Great job, 5's!
Nice job. Used to love that cartoon - what was his wife's name? Ma? "Uh uh uh great balls of fire . . ." - they don't make cartoons like they used to.
I'll drink to that.
Clever parody, clever ending, Rick.
Well done Rick. I voted earlier, just forgot to comment, I think.
Great line:
Though me and my gun are both quite loaded.
If votes were time I'd make this one 5PM - Miller time!
