I was mowing grass when I ran right out of gas

I crumpled to the ground in quite a heap

My brother look me in and he called an ambulance They came in not a Chevy but a Jeep

Then everything went dark when I thought I saw a spark I could've sworn the Lord was coming down

My brain had left my head, then I knew that I was dead Floating o'er the houses in my town

Uh-Oh Uh-Oh Uh-Oh

Later that day near the ruins of old Pompeii

I learned of what it was that had felled me Standing in the sand, talking to a wise woman She said, "Oh, don't you know, boy? Souvlaki!"

Uh-Oh Uh-Oh Uh-Oh

Uh-Oh Uh-Oh Uh-Oh
