Don McCollom - Skippy Du Jour Lyrics

While drinking last night I tripped on the floor
Through blurry eyes I saw Folklore
Lying there dead Blood everywhere
Eyes open wide A devilish stare

A grin on his face His hair was bright red
A leprechaun Did you hear what I said
I dragged him quick Out through the door
He grabbed my hand Said I'm Skippy Du Jour

We road a rainbow across the sky
Found whisky gold and tators on the other side
Pulled a 4 leaf clover within his hat
He grabbed my wallet hit me with a bat

Oh dilly dolly oh can't you see
A leprechaun put a spell over me
Oh gilly golly go folk your lore
You been had by Skippy Du Jour

A life time past I woke on the floor
A foreign place I heard a stumbling roar
And an awful yell As he looked at my face
He said leprechaun Then he picked up the pace

He dragged me quick Outside as we ran
Saint Pat gave a shock Then I grabbed his hand
With a fiery spark Then my hair turned red
We soared out of site With a hat on my head

We road a rainbow across the sky
Found whisky gold and tators on the other side
Found a 4 leaf clover inside my hat
Then I took his wallet hit him with a bat

Oh dilly dolly oh can't you see
I'm a leprechaun how can this be
Oh gilly golly go folk your lore
I became Skippy Du Jour

I know you think I'm lying But I swear my stories true
If you find a leprechaun Put a penny in your shoe
And leave him in the darkness Surrounded by a mirror
And when he wakes up He'll run in fear

Across a rainbow and in the sky
Whiskey gold and tators on the other side
A 4 leaf clover within his hat
No wallet to steal no tit for tat

Oh dilly dolly oh can't you see
The leprechaun You'll set him free
Oh gilly golly go folk your lore
You'll retire Skippy Du Jour
