Tainted squirrel 

(Gloria Jones; Tainted love 1964

Soft Cell release – 1981)

Jolene’s Home Cooked Eats Country food your Granny forgot about

I feel I’ve got to

Run, I’ve got to

Get there now 

This pain is driving into the core of me

It was good goin’ down 

Seemed to go straight through me

And I’ve lost my ability to sit upright

For I groan and moan, I can’t make it to the bathroom tonight

Once I longed for you (I ran)

Now run from you

This tainted squirrel you’ve given

I give you all; sadly, I will never give you more

Take my aching stomach and that’s not nearly all

Tainted squirrel (oh)

Tainted squirrel 

Now I know I’ve got to

Run, I’ve got to

Get there now, you don’t really want any of this from me

Pepto, Mylanta, to make things right

ER might be in sight

I need someone to hold my hair

And I think I need prayer

I’m sorry, I gotta crawl that way

Once I longed for you (I ran)

Now run from you

This tainted squirrel you’ve given

I give you all sadly I will never give you more 

Take my spastic colon and that’s not nearly all

Tainted squirrel(oh)

Tainted squirrel 

Don’t touch me, please

My stomach just seized 

I love you though you hurt me so

Now I’m gonna duck walk to the bathroom before I go

Tainted squirrel(oh)

Tainted squirrel (oh)

Tainted squirrel (oh)

Tainted squirrel(oh)

Never eat from a restaurant again, baby, tainted squirrel 

Used to think you were delicious, baby, tainted squirrel

Tainted squirrel (oh)

When does dehydration set in

Tainted squirrel (oh)

You’ve taken my inards for a spin

Tainted squirrel

  1. There’s an incredible video of the Supremes version (Where Did Our Love Go) performed at the T. A. M. I. Show from California about 1962. Worth watching. That whole concert is worth watching. You can probably you tube it. Diana Ross is amazing.

      1. Watching it right now. It’s a four song medley, Where Did Our Love Go is the last one. Terri Garr is one of their background dancers, the one in the target top. What a group of talented gals.
