Does anyone know the origin of the term 23-Skidoo? It is used in a few songs(John Prine's "Jesus, the missing years").

I think it means to leave, make your getaway, scram, skidattle, etc. I don't know for sure, just curious as to the origin of this phrase.

Thanks,

wm

Read "The Illuminatus Chronicles" by Robert Wilson and Robert Anton Shea for the answer to this one...

And you'll learn things you never knew you wanted to know...

Also search for 'Skidoo' on the Levy sheet music website (in Mudcat's Links)
