Moonlight on Vermont Songtext
von 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′
An' 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 and got off on alligators
Somebody's leavin′ peanuts on the curbins
For, uh, white elephant escaped from 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
'N 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
And it′s good enough for you

Well, come out t' show dem
Come out t′ show dem
Come out t' show dem
Come out t′ show dem
Come out t' show dem
Come out t′ show dem
Come out t' show dem

Gimme dat ole time religion
Gimme dat ole time religion
Gimme dat ole time religion
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
