Forbidden Jimmy — текст песни (John Prine)

Forbidden jimmy

Has got a mighty sore tooth

From biting too many dimes

In a telephone booth

Hes got half of his bootlace

Tied to the dial

Thank you operator

For getting jimmy to smile



"call out the coast guard"

Screamed the police

Forbidden jimmy

Hes got three water skis

He put two on his wavelength

And gave one to his girl

Shes a mighty fine person

Its a mighty fine world



Chorus:

Im gonna make all your sorrows bright

Set your soul free

Ill see you tomorrow night

If I can still see



Ginger caputo

And dorian gray

Oughtta stay out of pictures

If they got nothin to say

Stack em back on the rack jack

Ya know, youre hurting my eye

Forbidden jimmy

Hes getting ready to fly



Repeat chorus



I got caught cooking popcorn

And calling it hail

They wanna stick my head

Inside a water pail

Ya know, theyre gonna be sorry

Theyre gonna pay for it too

Forbidden jimmy

Hes coming straight at you
