Delete first and second lines from .txt

Hi,

I have to programming a program in shell script which combine a lot of .txt files. But in all of these files the program had to delete the first both lines.
Because I don't know anything about shell script I need your help.
Does anyone have a command or a hint, where I can look for?

Thank you,

mkrol
