Jimmy's Song

Jimmy's Song - John D. Loudermilk

Jimmy played the guitar, longed to be a big star

But Jimmy didn't have a song to sing

Jimmy sang sweet and Jimmy looked neat

But Jimmy didn't have a song to sing

Until one day Jimmy ran into

A little songwriter named Mary Lou

She had a brand new tune he dug

And all at once they fell in love

Now, Jimmy's singing

Jimmy's song, everybody's crazy 'bout it

Jimmy's song, buying lots of records of it

Jimmy's song, all the girls are flipin' over

Jimmy's song, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo

Jimmy's song, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo

Jimmy's song, written by Mary Lou

Now, Jimmy's got a Cadillac, Mary's got a Cadillac

And a great big wedding ring

They've got a cottage out in the country

With a swimming pool and everything

But that ain't all that they have got

'Cause they've got a brand new little tot

Mary Lou thinks it's awfully sweet

When Jimmy rocks Jimmy junior to sleep

Singing

Jimmy's song, lul-a-lul-a-lul-a-bye

Jimmy's song, lul-a-lul-a-lul-a-bye

Jimmy's song, lul-a-lul-a, don'tcha cry

Jimmy's song, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo

Jimmy's song, goo, goo, goo, goo

Jimmy's song, written by Mary Lou
