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
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 Explain Request ×
