Now gather ‘round for a tale that's tall

But true as it can be

‘bout the day the Rangers of Risembool

met the Skirts in middle Tennessee



The leader of the MSA

a giant of a fella

set out to show that his miniskirts

were anything but yella

(Ooo ooo ooo)



Across the line a shorter man

But with fire in his eyes

Would lead the Rangers in their quest

To squash the skirt-clad guys



The vicious match was set to start

Of the world's most dangerous game

That tests the metal of each man

And dodgeball is its name



[Chorus]

And they dipped and they ducked and they dodged that day

But they could not dodge them all

And Travis fell and the skirts went down

When the Rangers rule that old dodgeball



(Ah-ooo…)

Old Vic dove flat up on the ground

The dodge heard ‘round the world

(both sides) Both sides are jumping back and forth

As the rubber balls were hurled (echo: rubber balls were hurled)



Then someone shouted “Sudden death”

And the leaders took the field (they took it, ooo…)

But when the showdown ended

It was Travis who would yield (echo: would yield)



[Chorus]

And they dipped and they ducked and they dodged that day

But they could not dodge them all

And Travis fell and the skirts went down

When the Rangers rule that old dodgeball



When the smoke had cleared, the Rangers stood

The Skirts went down in flames

The team led by a pipsqueak

Had won the dodgeball game (Oh oooh oooooh…)



So if you're ever passin' by (ooh oooh)

And Tennessee's the spot (ooh oooh)

You can see where Rangers bested Skirts

In a hotel parking lot (ah ah ah ah aaaah)



And that game of such great danger (great danger)

To Ranger great and small (great and small)

From henceforth and forever (and forever)

Will be known as “Risemball”



[Chorus]

And they dipped and they ducked and they dodged that day

But they could not dodge them all

And Travis fell and the skirts went down (went down, went down)

From henceforth and forever

Will be known as “Risemball”
