Theme Song Lyrics
Well I’m not the kind to kiss and tell but I’ve been seen with Farrah.
I’ve never been 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 defying life I lead I take my chances.
I’d die for a living in the movies and TV.
But the hardest thing I ever do is watch my leading ladies kiss some other guy while I’m bandaging my knee.
I might fall from a tall building I might role a brand new car. ‘Cause I’m the unknown stuntman who made Redford such a star.
I never spent 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 wind up hittin’ the hay, it’s only hay. Hey Hey!
I might fall from a tall building or Tarzan from a vine. ‘Cause I’m the unknown stuntman who made Eastwood look so fine.
