Skip and I live down in Australia.
He’s me drinking buddy.
Drinks me under the table.
Say g’day Skip
thump..thump
That’s roo for g’day
If you own a pet dog you take it for a walk
round the block after work for exercise. Right?
Skip’s not into walking.
Insists on me riding him round the block.
We attract a few stares but what the heck.
Bet you didn’t know Skip was a child movie star?
Don’t believe me?
Footage from the Australian Film Board
archives shows I’m right.
Skip gets all misty-eyed watching it.
They even wrote a special song for him.
Just give me a Fosters
and a quiet time now he says.
