lyrics

Some guys always seem to find the action
It follows them wherever they go
They never bother stopping for directions
They swear when they get there they’ll know
They swear when they get there they’ll know

Now Kenny’s headed down to the Farmers’ Market
Loading up for his street corner stand
He keeps his whole life savings in his pocket
Bundled up in a rubber band
Bundled up in a rubber band

Skinny Kinny, Willy Bill and Jimmy Joe
They go together like win place and show
It’s urangatanga dinosaura
You gotta hang tough like there’s no tomorrow
‘Cause it’s your basic Kahunaville
Sit down ante up and test your will
I’ve just been dealt an inside straight to fill
I’ve just been dealt an inside straight to fill

Willy got a scholarship to college
To throw the football down in Bloomington
He got hurt they couldn’t fix the damage
Looks like Willy’s playing days are done
Looks like Willy’s playing days are done

Jimmy ran a tavern with his brother
On the inner southwest side of town
Choose a side and he’ll always take the other
He’s breaking even even when he’s down
He’s breaking even even when he’s down

Skinny Kinny, Willy Bill and Jimmy Joe
They go together like win place and show
It’s urangatanga dinosaura
You gotta hang tough like there’s no tomorrow
‘Cause it’s your basic Kahunaville
Sit down ante up and test your will
I’ve just been dealt an inside straight to fill
I’ve just been dealt an inside straight to fill

Jeff Haigerty Portland, Oregon

Born in Indianapolis, IN, I moved to Portland, OR in 1992 and started the Tree Frogs. We were a big deal in the 90s. A big 7 piece jam band that released three albums while touring and scrounging our way across the USA. Since then a lot of life altering crazy stuff has happened, and along the way I found the time to write a bunch of country songs, debuting 5 of them on my new EP release, Nickel. ... more
