Forbidden Jimmy |
| Forbidden Jimmy has got a mighty sore tooth |
| From biting too many dimes in a telephone booth |
| He’s got half of his boot lace tied to the dial |
| Thank you, Operator, for getting Jimmy to smile |
| «Call out the coast guard», screamed the police |
| Forbidden Jimmy, he’s got three water skis |
| He put two on his wavelength and gave one to his girl |
| She’s a mighty fine person, it’s a mighty fine world |
| I’m gonna make all your sorrows bright, set your soul free |
| I’ll see you tomorrow night, if I can still see |
| Ginger Caputo and Dorian Gray |
| Ought to stay out of pictures, if they got nothin' to say |
| Stack 'em back on the rack, Jack, you know you’re hurting my eye |
| Forbidden Jimmy is getting ready to fly |
| Gonna make all your sorrows bright, set your soul free |
| I’ll see you tomorrow night, if I can still see |
| I got caught cooking popcorn and calling it hail |
| They wanna stick my head inside a water pail |
| You know, they’re gonna be sorry, they’re gonna pay for it too |
| Forbidden Jimmy, he’s coming straight at you |
