Lyrics
LENNY, THE LEAPING LIZARD
1 A long time ago in an untamed land
There lived a green lizard about as big as your hand
He could scoot down a hole or dart up a tree, moving way too fast to see
The lizards in town, they looked up to this guy
who could zip out of sight in the wink of an eye
The thing he did best is what brought him fame
It?s how he got his name
Lenny, the leaping lizard, a legend in the west
All the other lizards envied him cause at leaping he was the best
Jumping real high, he could touch the sky?Lenny, what a guy
2. One day in town a stranger walked in
he wore a black hat, had a beard on his chin
with scorn in his voice he shouted in the street, ?My name is Jumpin? Pete?
If there?s anyone here thinks he jumps as high
Let him come out and give it a try, I?m the leapinest lizard you ever did see
And Lenny, won?t beat me
Lenny, the leaping lizard, a legend in the west
All the other lizards envied him cause at leaping he was the best
Jumping real high, he could touch the sky?Lenny, watch out for this guy
3. Well, soon the whole town was out in the street
to watch this amazing jumping feat
Lenny, stepped out, took a look at Pete, and said, ?All right, let?s go!?
Well, Pete was fast as he sprung off the ground
But Lenny was faster with a mighty bound
A gasp was heard from the startled crowd?as they flew clear out of sight
Chorus
4. It was late that night when Pete came down
But Lenny never did return to town
He jumped right out of this world you see
Into lizard history
Chorus
