Running nightly
Through the streets of Jacksonville
Seeking out swampy refuge
In some Florida glade

Oh, ain't no refuge
In the everglades, my friend
No buffalo
Live in the everglades

Ball-peen hammer
Goin' for my head
Florida buffalo
Long since dead

Squeeze my orange
Till the juice runs down my leg
Caught in the movie house
Orange juice on my leg

Landed in jail
Lost my turn
Let me tell you now
A day without orange juice
Is like a night in jail

Ball-peen hammer
Goin' for my head
Runnin' with orange juice
Dripping down my leg

Ball-peen hammer
Goin' for my head
Florida orange juice
Drippin' down my leg

Ball-peen hammer
Gunning for my head
Florida buffalo
Long since dead
