(Spoken) I`m gonna tell you a story
that`s all about this job I had one time as a talent scout.
I had a hard day at the office and the boss wasn`t in town,
the day this hairy legged guitar picker just happened to come around.
Well, he walks into my office with this great big grin, and folks,
that`s where my story really begins.
He said `Son, my name is Beauregard Rippy.
I come to you from Tupelo, Mississippi.
I write songs and I sing like a bird.
I play licks on my guitar like you ain`t never heard.
But I`m down on my luck and things are just a little slack.
I got a quarter in my pocket and a shirt on my back.
You promise me some supper and give me a place I can sleep;
I`ll sing you some songs that`ll knock your hat in the creek.
I got talent, boy! Said back home they called me the Tupelo Mississippi Flash!
Well, I knew I was in a room with some kind of nut
when he pulled out that pack of used cigarette butts.
So that`s when I told him, `We can`t use you today.`
So I hand the boy a dollar and send him on his way.
Well, the boss got back and we both had a laugh
when I told him `bout the Tupelo Mississippi Flash.
And pretty soon I had this story circulatin` around,
about this Mississippi nut that we had in our town.
I said watch him, ev`rybody, this boy`s squirrelly;
He walks around callin` himself the Tupelo Mississippi Flash!
Well, then it happened one day I was driving to my home,
I just happened to have my car radio on.
When I heard a jockey raving `bout a brand new smash
by a kid called the Tupelo Mississippi Flash.
Why, I almost wrecked my automobile.
I went thru red light, I hit a traffic cop.
Well, my story`s got an ending and it`s short and sweet.
The Boss man he fire me and left me out in the street.
But I got a new job and I`m learning real fast.
I`m driving the bus for the Tupelo Mississippi Flash.
And his Cadillac, I`m driving that for him too.
And that yacht he`s got and his airplane.
Well, chauffer so good I always say.
Heh, Tupelo Mississippi, who ever heard of it.
Why, I`ll kill the boy. Help him somebody. Send " Tupelo Mississippi" Ringtone to your Cell
