It was May of 1992 when he made history |
|
The 43rd appearance for him on the telecast |
|
How he did what he did on that day remains a mystery |
|
And he holds the record to this day that no one has surpassed |
|
Candlepin Paul candlepin ball |
|
That's all it took to make the candlepins fall |
|
They kept falling they kept falling they kept falling down |
|
They kept falling they kept falling they kept falling down |
|
Deadwood David Richards was a champ in every sense |
|
A champion that showed up on that day just to defend |
|
His television title and his pride in his defense |
|
There was no way that he could possibly predict how this would end |
|
Candlepin Paul candlepin ball |
|
That's all it took to make the candlepins fall |
|
They kept falling they kept falling they kept falling down |
|
They kept falling they kept falling they kept falling down |
|
They kept falling they kept falling they kept falling down |
|
They kept falling they kept falling they kept falling down |
|
Sometimes the order's too tall odds had him coming up short |
|
They called him Candlepin Paul the unlikely hero the unlikeliest of sports |
|
Remember Candlepin Paul a little love and support |
|
The man stands alone after all the unlikely hero the unlikeliest of sports |
|
Those there can not ever recall having seen anything of the sort |
|
What they saw was Candlepin Paul the unlikely hero the unlikeliest of sports |
