Lester

from But First by The Furies

lyrics

When Lester was 8 years old
His parents thought him much too bold
He built and 8 foot mattress pile
Seafaring ship to sail down the Nile

But he was from...
MISSISSIPPI!
Yeah he was from...
MISSISSIPPI!
He was from...
MISSISSIPPI!
And thats a long way away...
From the Nile.

5 years later on
His teachers said that boy is dumb
He prayed for hope by the side of his bed
And got a hurricane instead

Cause he was from...
MISSISSIPPI!
Yeah he was from
MISSISSIPPI!
He was from
MISSISSIPPI!
And thats a long way away...
From the Nile.

And its alright,
Its alright your wrong.

It's alright.
