Lyrics: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
reptiles 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

Chorus
You can mess with the 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 Bown Queen

Verse
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 pirate's persona he snatched the
gridiron Madonna
And the big movers 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

Chorus
You can mess with the 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 (x2)

Well Skip's caper it kind of
backfired
And got the orange juice barons rather upset
In the light of bad moods, these
manhunts ensued
But Skip easily slipped through the net

He was last seen atop 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

Chorus
You can mess with the mouse in Orlando
Jily a tourist in St.
Augustine
You can shoplift your days at Blockbuster
But you can't steal the Orange Bown
Queen
No you can't steal the Orange Bown Queen (x2
