Skippy the Wondermouse
Now he's picking diamonds in the daytime
Skippy the Wondermouse
Now he's picking diamonds in the daytime
Skippy is nasty, and Skippy is mean
Lost all his money in the slot machine
Still he gets nasty, and still he is mean
Prettiest mouse that I ever seen
[For the debut, The Dude sang four other verses here, largely indecipherable from recordings. For the Oct 85 version, Trey only sang the lines above then the lines below. We had listed a 3/4/85 Skippy, but that includes none of these lyrics and was actually McGrupp. We currently also list a 3/16/85 version, of which there are no recordings; we know the band called it Skippy at the time, but they also called the 3/4/85 version Skippy - but 3/16 probably also had the McGrupp lyrics, such that there were only two performances of Skippy as such.]

The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
