How Skippy Got His Name

Lyrics:

Stuntman Skippy
was the pride of his hometown
put himself in every paper in the state
his cannon is on display, by the old courthouse
Everyone round these parts
can tell the story
of how Skippy got his name

Everyone round these parts
can tell the story
of how Skippy got his name

Stuntman Skippy
was the pride of his hometown
put himself in every paper in the state
his cannon is on display, by the courthouse

Tourists came from miles away just to see the cannon on display
in the town square by the old courthouse

Everyone round these parts
can tell the story
of how Skippy got his name

Skippy shot himself from the cannon and skipped across the lake,
11 times they counted
before he sealed his fate

Skippy shot himself from the cannon and skipped across the lake,
11 times
before he drowned that day

Stuntman Skippy
was the pride of his hometown
put himself in every paper in the state
his cannon is on display, by the old courthouse
Everyone round these parts
can tell the story
Everyone round these parts
can tell the story
of how Skippy got his name
the day he shot himself from his cannon
and sailed across the lake
