Ballad Of Skip Wiley - Jimmy Buffett
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 You can mess with that mouse in Orlando Jilt a tourist in St. Augustine You can shoplift all day at Blockbuster But you can't steal the Orange Bowl Queen No, you can't steal the Orange Bowl Queen That's unthinkable in the state of Florida What would the Chamber of Commerce say This man is sick Yeah 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 their 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 grovers 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 You can mess with that mouse in Orlando Jilt a tourist in St. Augustine You 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 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 You can mess with that mouse in Orlando Jilt a tourist in St. Augustine You 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
