THE UNKNOWN STUNTMAN

I just happened across this little gem. I'd been looking for the lyrics of this song for quite some time now. It's the  theme song of an American TV series of the early 80s, "The Fall

Guy", starring Lee Majors, Heather Thomas  and... another guy. This show was about a movie stuntman who also worked as a bounty hunter to supplement his income ! Great stuff. Buckle up.

**Well, I'm not the kind to kiss and tell, But I've been seen with Farrah.

I'm never seen with anything less than a nine, so fine.

I've been on fire with Sally Field,

Gone fast with a girl named Bo,

But somehow they just don't end up as mine.

It's a death defyin' life I lead,

I take my chances.

I die for a livin' in the movies and TV.

But the hardest thing I ever do

Is watch my leadin' ladies

Kiss some other guy while I'm bandagin' my knee.

I might fall from a tall building,

I might roll a brand new car.

'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman that made Redford such a star.

I never spend much time in school

But I taught ladies plenty.

It's true I hire my body out for pay, Hey Hey.

I've gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs,

Blown up for Raquel Welch.

But when I end up in the hay it's only hay, Hey Hey.

I might jump an open drawbridge,

Or Tarzan from a vine.

'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman that makes Eastwood look so fine.** ("The Unknown Stuntman" by Glen A Larson, Gail Jensen, and David Sommerville)Video:

I've never looked at it that way, but I guess you're right... there's a little sadness to the lyrics... but also a great sense of humor. And that's why I like it.
