Ballad Of Skip Wiley |
| He’s a man on a mission |
| Wild as a ricochet |
| Picture if you can when the Everglades ran |
| From the Gulf Coast to Biscayne Bay |
| He’s gonna give it back to the gators |
| Lock the tourists up in theme parks and zoos |
| He says join me for lunch at the reptile’s brunch |
| Where the barometer soup is you |
| He’s crazy and dangerous |
| But who else can you trust |
| He’s the outlaw in all of us The environmental terrorist |
| ou can mess with that mouse in Orlando |
| Jilt a tourist in St. Augustine |
| ou can shoplift all day at Blockbuster |
| But you can’t steal the Orange Bowl Queen |
| No you can’t steal the Orange Bowl Queen |
| Spoken: |
| That’s unthinkable in the state of Florida |
| What would the Chamber of Commerce say |
| This man is sick |
| eah |
| There were crimes of epic proportions |
| All part of Skip Wiley’s crusade |
| Tourists were cackin' |
| And tourists were packin' |
| While he and Skink cooled there heels in the shade |
| Then came the citrus sensation |
| Welcome to the revolution he said |
| With a pirates persona |
| He snatched the gridiron madonna |
| And the day groovers called for his head |
| He’s crazy and dangerous |
| But who else can you trust |
| He’s the outlaw in all of us The environmental terrorist |
| ou can mess with that mouse in Orlando |
| Jilt a tourist in St. Augustine |
| ou can rag on the Miami Dolphins |
| But you can’t steal the Orange Bowl Queen |
| No you can’t steal the Orange Bowl Queen |
| No, No you can’t steal the Orange Bowl Queen |
| Spoken: |
| Well Skip’s caper it kinda backfired |
| Got the orange juice barons rather upset |
| In the light of bad moves these manhunts ensued |
| Skip easily slipped through the net |
| He was last seen atop of a mangrove |
| Perched like a wounded osprey |
| He was not meant to last |
| He belongs to the past |
| And I hope he gets there one day |
| He’s crazy and dangerous |
| But who else can you trust |
| He’s the outlaw in all of us The environmental terrorist (terrorist) |
| ou can mess with that mouse in Orlando |
| Jilt a tourist in St. Augustine |
| ou can shoplift your days at Blockbuster |
| But you can’t steal the Orange Bowl Queen |
| No you can’t steal the Orange Bowl Queen |
| No you can’t steal the Orange Bowl Queen |
| That’s right |
