Jimmie'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, ev’rybody’s crazy 'bout it,

Jimmy’s song, they’re buying lots of records of it,

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

Jimmy’s song, whoo, whoo, whoo…

Jimmy’s song, whoo, whoo, whoo.

Jimmy’s song, written by Mary Lou

Whooo, whoo, whoo…

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 Jr. 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’t cha cry

Jimmy’s song, whoo, whoo, whoo…

Jimmy’s song, goo, goo, goo, goo

Jimmy’s song, written by Mary Lou
