Squirrels running all up in my attic
Generating chaos, causing static
Breaking my concentration like a drunken promise

99 problems, I feel bad for you, son
Just be glad if squirrels ain’t one
It ain’t nearly half as fun as it looks in the comics

Squirrels!
That’s half my problem
Squirrels!
Man I got ‘em
Squirrels! Running through my rafters

When I get on task they wanna break my focus
Finishing a thought sometimes seems hopeless
What was I saying? Oh yeah
Squirrels

How they got in there, I really can’t say
I reckon It’s always been this way
And I can’t just hammer half a tin can over the hole

I like the sea but I don’t like sand
When I don’t know what to do, I just clap hands
Now we just need a billionaire to shovel this coal

Squirrels!
That’s half my problem
Squirrels!
Man I got ‘em
Squirrels!
Running through my rafters

Squirrels are a menace, lettered people tell me
Much worse than having bats in your belfry
What I was I saying?
Oh yeah, squirrels

I hear them up there scurrying
Meanwhile I’m just worrying
I won’t complete my ponderin’
Before they interrupt again

Oh the great things I might be
If they’d just go live in a tree
Humanity can’t know the cost
Of the brilliant thoughts that have been lost to

Squirrels!
That’s half my problem
Squirrels!
Man I got ‘em
Squirrels! Running through my rafters

When I get on task they wanna break my focus
Finishing a thought sometimes seems hopeless
What was I saying? Oh yeah
Squirrels

Squirrels are a menace, lettered people tell me
Much worse than having bats in your belfry
What I was I saying?
Oh yeah, squirrels
What was I saying?
Oh yeah! Squirrels!
