Sixteen Jumps
by
Larry Mazzocco
(to the tune of "Sixteen Tons")
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my rig and I stood in line
I crossed an ocean of oil just to get to the plane
I was soaking wet from the driving rain
Chorus: You make sixteen jumps and what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to Al Gramando
The hard core jumpers were ready to go
We should have been sitting on the hangar floor
We lifted off the runway when the lightning struck
The right engine coughed and the left one stuck
(Chorus)
Jimmy done screamed like he just died
Atheists prayed and big boys cried
Sweat was rolling off the end of my nose
We cleared them trees by the tips of our toes
(Chorus)
Jimmy nursed it up to a thousand feet
He turned around and said, "This is it, hit the street
I want everybody to form a line"
When we brought out the mirror he said "Not that kind!"
(Chorus)
The air was smoky and getting hot
Newton wouldn't jump 'cause we wouldn't let him spot
Bev was screaming "Hey, we're getting low"
I heard somebody yell "Get tight and go!"
(Chorus)
I jumped out the door and I cleared my air
I went for my pilot chute but it weren't there
I felt something tugging so I looked behind
My bridle was wrapped around my leg like twine
(Chorus)
I punched my reserve and it shot for the sky
It opened with a bang as a four-way went by
The lines were popping and my cells were torn
I wished to the Lord that I'd never been born
(Chorus)
Well, I looked for the peas and I did what I could
I smacked that disk like a hammer on wood
I was buried in the gravel all the way to my nose
They fed me my beer through a half inch hose
(Chorus)
Jimmy done landed that smoking plane
He jumped out the door and said "Never again!"
We strapped dynamite underneath each wing
Then we blew up the plane and we started to sing...
(Chorus)
Low Puller
by
Larry Mazzocco
(to the tune of "Secret Agent Man")
There was a man who jumped a rig of danger
Every time he pulled it opened stranger
It snivelled and it stalled
A Unit it was called
Odds were he would bounce before tomorrow
Chorus: Low Puller
Low Puller
Goin' for that ground rush
We knew he'd frap one day
One day he took it down below five hundred
He pulled his main and watched as it exploded
We saw him kick and thrash
As he cut away that trash
Odds were he would bounce before tomorrow
(Chorus)
He pulled on his reserve but just as he feared
His knuckles hit the ground before his pins cleared
Then the news spread 'round the town
As they hosed the runway down -
"Used gear for sale at the drop zone"
(Chorus)

paul (Paul Boutin):
Would that I were energetic and omnipresent enough to have broken
everything I have been assumed in print to have broken this week.
Then again, if I were, I would be on Wall Street.
17 bottles etc...
