about

With 5 brothers, there's no end to the mischief into which one can get. Of course, back when we were kids, there were no urgent care facilities, so our urgent care was usually our dad and lots of merthiolate and turpentine!
And really, we only tried the bed sheet and ropes parachute of the three things mentioned in the song--and we had the good sense to get a neighborhood kid to try it. No broken bones, but his feet are still stinging!

lyrics

Hey, Stumpy, Watch This

Hey Stumpy, I got a plan
Let's build an airplane
Launch off a ramp and learn how to land
Won't it be grand

I got the brains, and you've got the smarts
All that we need is a bunch of old parts
No, I'm not insane
Hey, let's launch the plan--Watch this!

Chorus

Stumpy Thicket went with Bo Britches
To Urgent Care he got 17 (29, 49, 59, 102) stitches
What a nightmare
Man, I'm never going back there

I'm going to turn over a new leaf
Always careful as a jewel thief
From now on

Hey Stumpy, been thinking again
Let's build a dragster with wheels that spin
And smoke and squeal
Man, I'm talking unreal

We'll take that lawn mower rusting away
Juice up the engine, jacked all the way
You'll see, my man
It's a foolproof plan--Watch this!

Hey Stumpy, listen to this
I've got a plan and this time it can't miss
Let's make a chute
You know, a big parachute

A bit of clothesline and a bed sheet
I'll jump off the shed and land on my feet
Ah, for heaven's sake
It's a piece of cake--Watch this!

Chorus

William Morris (aka Lanny) Lambdin Amherst, Virginia

I grew up in a house that was always filled with music, from opera and hymns to musicals and the symphonies of the classical composers. As a consequence, my head has always been full of tunes and my song-writing has flowed from that wealth of music as well as the rock and blues I have gravitated to as an adult. My inner child stays close by, so my creations are mostly for kids - of all ages. ... more
