[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Kitty Malone sat on a mule
Was riding in style
When suddenly, like the sound of a buzzard’s breaking
Kitty felt laser beams being fired at her head
She said, "I hate laser beams
And you never done see me askin’, mhm-mmm
For a UFO, for a UFO, for a UFO
In Tomahawk County"

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well she kicked the mule and it walked the path
And the aliens fired from behind
'Til she stopped the mule and she kicked the rump
Then the big old mule took a big old dump

[Chorus]
Scent of a mule, you better watch out where you go
Take your laser beams away
Scent of a mule, you better watch out where you go
You better stop that laser game

[Post-Chorus]
Or you'll smell my mule
[Verse 2]
She felt the fire against her neck
And it saddened her to feel it burn
When suddenly, like the sound of a breeding Holstein
Kitty said, "Stop, we ain’t lookin’ for a-fightin’
In Tomahawk County"

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well a little guy from the UFO
Came on out and said his name was Joe
She said, "Come on over for some lemonade
Just follow me now with the whole brigade"

[Chorus]
Scent of a mule, you better watch out where you go
Take your laser beams away
Scent of a mule, you better watch out where you go
You better stop that laser game

[Post-Chorus]
Or you'll smell my mule

[Instrumental Break]
Yeehaw!

[Verse 3]
They walked into her cabin shack
They had never seen a southern home
And they liked it, better than the UFO
They liked it, they really liked it
[Bridge]
They said, "Here’s a place of elegance
Here we shower ourselves in lightness"
"Here’s a place of elegance (huh-huh-huh)
Here we shower ourselves in lightness" (huh-huh-huh)
"Here’s a place of elegance (huh-huh)
Here we shower ourselves in lightness" (huh-huh-huh)
"Here’s a place of elegance (huh-huh-huh)
Here we shower ourselves in-"

[Chorus]
Scent of a mule, you better watch out where you go
Take your laser beams away
Scent of a mule, you better watch out where you go
You better stop that laser game
Scent of a mule, you better watch out where you go
Take your laser beams away
Scent of a mule, you better watch out where you go
You better stop that laser game

[Outro]
(Yeah)
