Moonlight on Vermont - Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

Moonlight on Vermont affected everybody

Even Mrs. Wooten well as Little Nitty

Even lifebuoy floatin'

With his lil' pistol showin'

'n his lil' pistol totin'

Well that goes t' show you what uh moon can do No more bridge from Tuesday t' Friday

Everybody’s gone high society

Hope lost his head 'n got off on alligators

Somebodies leavin' peanuts on the curbins

For uh white elephant escaped from the zoo with love

Goes t' show you what uh moon can do Moonlight on Vermont

Well it did it for Lifebuoy

And it did it t' you

And it did it t' zoo

And it can do it for me And it can do it for you

Moonlight on Vermont

Gimme dat ole time religion

Gimme dat ole time religion

Don’t gimme no affliction

Dat ole time religion is good enough for me Uh it’s good enough for you

Well come out t' show dem

Come out t' show dem (repeat five times)

Gimme dat ole time religion (repeat)

It’s good enough for me Without yer new affliction

Don’t need yer new restrictions

Gimme dat ole time religion

It’s good enough for me Moonlight on Vermont
