Now, you probably won't believe this, but
This is a true story
Almost
I'm a farmer in a garden, growin' peaches in the name of Jesus
I'm a friend to the plants and the planet and the animal world
But something's eatin' me up 'cause something's eatin' my peaches
I'm a good-hearted man, and I wanna believe
That there's enough peaches to share between me and the squirrels
As time goes by, I can see I've got a bit of a task
There's a bite in every ripe one, my peaches just ain't gonna last
I prayed to the Lord, "Help me to end this racket"
The Lord said, "A squirrel is just a rat in a rabbit's jacket
So do what you need to do, and I'll forgive you"
A squirrel is a two-timin', no-good, cruel double-crosser
They look real cute, but you know who be stealin' your food
They're slick, they're quick, and they pick the best ones
We'd probably get along if they saved me some
And it breaks my heart to do what I'm a-gonna do
Now, I'm a farmer in a kitchen, invitin' friends over for dinner
I invited the squirrel to come in because I had a surprise
I'd had enough of the fuss, enough of the fightin'
The game is over, now this was do or die
So I pulled out my knife, and I served him a slice of pie
Mm-hm, peach pie
