Verse 
G 
Kitty Malone sat on a mule 

Was riding in style 
          C 
When suddenly, like the sound of a 

buzzard's breaking 
            A7                   D7 
Kitty felt laser beams being fired at 

her head 
G 
She said, "I hate laser beams 

And you never done see me Askin’ 
C                A7              D7 
For a UFO, for a UFO, for a UFO 
N.C. 
In Tomahawk County" 

D 
Well she kicked the mule 
D/C 
And it walked the path 
D/B                           D/A 
And the aliens fired from behind 
D 
Till she stopped the mule 
D/C 
And she kicked the rump 
D/B                          D/A 
And the big old mule took a big old dump 

Chorus 
F          C                G 
Scent of a mule, you better watch out 

where you go 
F        C               D 
Take your laser beams away 
F          C                G 
Scent of a mule, you better watch out 

where you go 
F         C               A7     D7 
You better stop that laser game 
                       G 
Or you'll smell my mule 

G 
She felt the fire against her neck 

And it saddened her to feel it burn 
C 
When suddenly, like the sound of a 

breeding Holstein 
             A7 
Kitty said, "Stop, we ain't lookin' for 
D7 
fightin' 
N.C. 
In Tomahawk County." 

D                     D/C 
A little guy from the UFO

Came on out and said his name was Joe 
          D                      D/C 
She said, "Come on over for some lemonade 
    D/B                          D/A 
Just follow me now with the whole brigade"

Scent of a mule, you better watch out 

where you go 
F         C               A7     D7 
You better stop that laser game 
                       G 
Or you'll smell my mule

They walked into her cabin shack 

They had never seen a southern home 
C 
And they liked it, better than their UFO 
A7                         D7
