karaoke
[Verse:]
There's a man who's full of personality and charm
And he's heading for the hall of fame
Father Knickerbocker came and took 'im by the arm
Now we feel the magic of his name
[Refrain:]
Jimmy
We simply had to fall for one and all for Jimmy
And now we're singing of him 'cause we love him
Who told Broadway not to be gay?
Who gets his picture taken three times a day?
Jimmy
We're very glad to show that we all know that Jimmy
Is doing fine
Can't you hear those old New Yorkers hollering
'Gimme, gimme, gimme Jimmy for mine'
WELL I KINDA FEEL SORRY FOR JIMMY
YEAH BUT YOU DON'T KNOW THE WHOLE STORY HE WASN'T A NICE GUY
WHADDYA MEAN?
LET ME TELL YA
JIMMY'S IN A WHEEL CHAIR AND I DON'T CARE
HE USED TO WALK HIS DOG
AND THEN HE'D BEAT HIM GOOD
LIKE HIS PRETTY WIFE
AND NOW THEY'RE UP AND GONE
AND JIMMY'S IN A WHEELCHAIR AND I DON'T CARE
HE WAS THE PRESIDENT
OF A COMPANY
HE KEPT HIS WORKERS POOR
HE'D LIE AND CHEAT AND STEAL
WELL WHEN JUSTICE STRIKES
WELL EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE
IT MAKES A BULLSEYE HIT
WELL EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE
HE USED TO YELL AND SCREAM
UNTIL HIS SON WOULD CRY
THEN HE'D RUN HIM DOWN
WELL HE DON'T RUN NO MORE
JIMMY'S IN A WHEELCHAIR AND I DON'T CARE
HE GOT BIG AND FAT
AND HE WAS RIDIN' HIGH
MAKIN' LOTS OF CASH
TRASHIN' OTHERS' LIVES
NOW JIMMY'S IN A WHEELCHAIR AND I DON'T CARE
LORD HE HAD IT COMIN'
NOW HE'S CRYIN' IN HIS BEER
Jimmy, my heart is full of love, only true love,
and its wisdom and visions are you.
(Baby baby, it's no returning)
Jimmy, there's words unspoken, and unbroken,
only you can ensure everlasting.
(Baby baby, this love is you)
Jimmy, I would like to drive your car,
it don't matter how long, how far.
Jimmy, you can have my loving heart and key and all.
Jimmy, I would like to wear your ring,
all your love songs I sure will sing.
Jimmy, you can have my loving heart and key and all.
Jimmy, I don't need to tell you how good your love is,
you're really all I need.
Jimmy, my heart is full of love, only true love,
and its wisdom and visions are you.
(Baby baby, it's no returning)
Jimmy, there's words unspoken, and unbroken,
only you can ensure everlasting.
(Baby baby, this love is you)
Jimmy, I would like to drive your car,
it don't matter how long, how far.
Jimmy, you can have my loving heart and key and all.
Jimmy, I would like to wear your ring,
all your love songs I sure will sing.
Jimmy - what's your vote?
You don't have to repay them after all
Jimmy told of those who'd been cheated
But were never defeated
Just morally wrong
Jimmy told of those who were jaded
Their colours had faded
Like they didn't belong
And they lied - a new life they were seeking
Yes they lied - now their plans are leaking
Jimmy told of those who had made it
And others who'd paid it
But the price was wrong
Everybody's too busy fighting
To bother deciding
What has to be done
Jimmy - it seems as though it can be sold
As easy as a story
Can be told
You don't have to repay them after all
Jimmy had a dream he would make it
And he wouldn't fake it
Like the others had done
He believed in those who were jaded
Whose colours had faded
Like they didn't belong
I would've never thought you could be crying
As you saw Jimmy in Giant
Angels never same since they stopped flying
Bright beautiful flames burn brightly
THat's the same
Little runaway with my heart
I'll be waiting
Little runaway with my heart
For you baby
I would've never thought I could be crying
On this dirty old boulevard the dreams are dying
Where the lonely teardrops
Never be drying
Bright beautiful flames always burn brightly
That's the same
Little runaway with my heart
I'll be waiting
Little runaway with my heart
For you baby

Here is a message to the Super Hoes
Just keep in mind when Jimmy grows
It grows and grows and grows, so let it
But keep in mind about the epidemic
When Jimmy releases, boy it pleases
But what do you do about all these diseases?
Jimmy is Jimmy, no matter what
So take care of Jimmy cos you know what's up
Cos now in winter aids attacks
So run out and get your Jimmy Hats
It costs so little for a pack of three
They're Jimmy Hats for the winter attack
Good for a present, great for lovers
Demonstrated by The Jungle Brothers
Protect your Jimmy and keep it fresh
They're Jimmy Hats by KRS
So, remember you're never too old (Jimmy is wearin' a hat)
Remember you're never too bold (Jimmy is wearin' a hat)
Do me a favour, wear your hat
So Jimmy will have the opportunity to come back
Well, Red Alert is down with BDP
Teachin' you all about Jimbrowski
I don't wanna hear that you're not with it
Turn around and see your butt in a clinic
Havin' doctors just poke at Jimmy
Let me express what now what's in me
Too many people take too many risks
Too many people I see get dissed
Jimmy Hats are now in style
Cos you can't trust a big butt and a smile
Some are dry and some lubricated
Many companies make and made it
So all you Super-Hoes, wear your hat
Cos drippin' Jimmies is straight up wack
Keep in mind about Jimbrowski

Jimmy hat mir tausendmal gesagt, was sie an Dir nicht mag,
und sie schien nie besonders froh zu sein.
Jimmy hat mir schon zweitausend mal ihr Leid geklagt,
wie oft hat sie gesagt,Du wrst ein Schwein.
Ich hab ihr zugehrt,
und hab ihr jedes mal gesagt, sie soll doch gehen.
Und sie hat mich immer nur angesehn.
Ich kann Dich und Jimmy ganz gut leiden,
bloŸ was ihr da miteinander spielt, das versteh ich nicht.
Ich hab Euch beiden immer zugehrt und hab versucht euch zu verstehn,
bloŸ das will ich jetzt nicht mehr.
Und die Erkenntnis,
die mir mit Euch geblieben ist,
daŸ mancher nur im Unglck glcklich ist.
Solang Du weiŸt, wo vorn und hinten ist,
solang Du weiŸt, was gut und bse ist, hast Du wohl:
Lieber ein Unglck, das vertraut ist, als ein Zustand,den Du nicht kennst,
lieber Schmerz, den Du ertrgst, als ein Glck, das Dich erschlgt
Lieber jeden Tag die Hlle, als ein Stck vom Paradies,
solang Du weiŸt woran Du bist und wo vorn und hinten ist.
Ich hab Jimmy jetzt schon lang nicht mehr gesehn
Und sie ruft mich auch nicht mehr an.
Schade, wenn man bedenkt, wie's frher einmal war,
aber Jimmy ist alt genug um zu wissen was sie tut.
Und die Erkenntnis,
die mir mit Euch geblieben ist,
daŸ mancher nur im Unglck glcklich ist.
Solang Du weiŸt, wo vorn und hinten ist,

Jimmy rode a bike with a steering wheel
Said he didn't like the way the handle bars feel
Folks said, "Jimmy, son what's the deal?"
And this is what Jimmy said...
"Ain't no more with the wonder why
I can't live like those other guys
So I dwell on the outside
And do what's right for me"
Get on wit' your bad self
Get on wit' your bad self
Get on wit' your bad self, Jimmy
One day Jimmy was hangin' 'round
A man said, "Boy, wont you come down
To a big tent meetin' outside town...
Gonna be a big show!"
Jimmy thought about it for a short while
And his words came back with a big smile
"Well, if it ain't ordinary, then it's my style
So I guess I'll have to go"
From the time that he walked in that place
There was a burnin' in his soul
When he heard about Heaven and God's grace
That Jimmy was a holy rollin'
Some folks never quite figured out
Just what Jimmy was all about
Well he sure loved Jesus, but they had doubts about
Laying on the dock again
Watching lightning strike somewhere
I’ve never been even since
I used to lay here as a kid with family and friends
And nothing mattered then but happiness
I’ve been around the world since then
And I’ve loved and lost, I made some friends
I’ve got regrets just like the rest
But I learned something critical
Ya can’t buy back a second ago and why would you?
‘Cuz this one’s new
You know we don’t know where we’re going
We don’t know what will happen.
But that’ll never matter to the moment we have here
You know we only have to live, love and laugh through
The good times and the bad too
Your whole life’s up to you
It’s been a long way from the top
But the top’s not what this life’s about
Plus that was then and this is now
Been on the edge but I stepped back
Because they were right and that too passed
The hardest times never last
You know we don’t know where we’re going
We don’t know what will happen
But that’ll never matter to the moment we have here
You know we only have to live, love and laugh through
The good times and the bad too
Your whole life’s up to you
Tell me what you’re thinking about, right now
Tell me are you happy or sad and why’s that?
Did you know where you’d be here now a year ago
Tell me did you plan it out, how’d that go?
All I know is I don’t know if tomorrow’s gonna come or go
So why waste your time and energy on things like
Envy and shame, guilt, hate or jealousy?
Don’t waste your energy
The past will never change
You know we don’t know where we’re going
We don’t know what will happen
But that’ll never matter to the moment we have here
You know we only have to live, love and laugh through
The good times and the bad too
Jimmy
It started out with a few misfortunes
His daddy ran off with some broad from the motown
When momma said we're leavin tomorrow
Jimmy already had his things together
So many days of thinking of the past
The girl he left behind and hangin out in the
free streets
Somehow Jimmy had survived his reflections
The broken glass in his hands, a noose before him
Said he did it before
He's gonna do it again
Give him a fix and a bottle and he won't complain
Until he's blue in the face
Jimmy's the leader of a losin' race
Hey Jimmy did you learn your lesson
You always know what you were missin'
Hey Jimmy did you solve the problem
Just a kid with no direction
Some people say it was fright that drove him
But Jimmy knows who's really scared of difference
The whipping boy won't take his beating
It only left them alone to their thinking
Of how he knew what they could never know
And he would live and learn to be himself
through his mistakes
Watch and laugh, pretend they were okay
Waiting for things to change is just another day
Said he did it before
He's gonna do it again
Give him a fix or a bottle and he won't complain
Until he's blue in the face
Jimmy's the leader of a losing race
Hey Jimmy did you learn your lesson
You always knew what you were missin'
Hey Jimmy did you solve the problem
Just a kid with no direction
Hey Jimmy don't you walk away
We'll look at life according to me
You're my life support auto biography
Hey Jimmy take a look inside
Let's take a chance, enjoy the ride
Impressions don't die
No one knew your story
Hey Jimmy did you learn you lesson
You always knew what you were missin' (Jimmy)
Hey Jimmy did you solve the problem
Just a kid with no direction (Jimmy)
Hey Jimmy did you learn your lesson
You always knew what you were missin' (Jimmy)
Hey Jimmy did you solve the problem
Just a kid with no direction (Jimmy)
Hey Jimmy now your free
Me and Jimmy and on a Sunday afternoon
drinking wine down by the sea.
Mildatilda on a sandy dune
Jimmy and I we were happy.
Until the moon fell under the sun
Sea street summers and getting high
nothing left to do but just smile.
Watching the tide roll out
underneath the eastern skies.
Oh, at least I'm enjoying the ride.
Until the moon fell under the sun
Now life's begun
chorus:
Rosemary where you been?
Playing in the tall grass again?
Rosemary where you been?
Did you fall?
4th of July was life on chapin beach at night.
Throwing no worries to the sky.
And the angels cried when little Renee she died
all our answers had no name.
Until the moon fell under the sun
Now life's begun
[chorus]
So we ran to the night like children on a runaway kite.
Holding hands and trying to feel free.
Even Superman will cry when he sees himself pass by.
He breaks, me down, he builds, me up
He fills, my cup, I like, it rough
We fuss, we brawl, we rise, we fall
He comes, in late, but it's, ok
He do, I do, he knows, the rules
He takes care of home, though he's not alone
I'm on, his knee, he keeps, me clean
And gives, me things, he makes, me scream
He's so contagious, returns my pages
He's got me anxious, he's what I waited for
He keeps me guessin, spontaneous
He's so persuasive, and I'm his lady
Oh! Tonight he's waitin, and I ain't complainin
I'm entertainin, my number one fan
My back is achin, from our love makin
Oh yes I'm takin, ain't no use in fakin
My ups, my downs, my high and my lows
From head to toe, he makes me glow
He hits the spot, he makes me hot
I'm all that he's got, and he's all that I got
He's so contagious, returns my pages
He's got me anxious, he's what I waited for
He keeps me guessin, spontaneous
He's so persuasive, and I'm his lady
Thinkin of a masterplan, you know anything you need baby ask your man
You was there from a half a grand
Now it's kelos to c notes and how fast your grands
We ball like we own the world, your only concern is you my only girl
And when we speakin in tongues
Breathin hard when I'm squeezin your lungs
Keep it strong, but I gotta hit the streets when I'm done
It's joy and pain, when you try to get ahead of the game
It's fucked up but you never complain
You just pray I don't get killed when I hit the hood
Just another hundred mill and I'm a quit for good
No more drug wars trips to jail and shootouts
Gettin loot out for lawyers and bail will get you boot out
Just me and you high off sex I'm twisted
You OG'd and you OD addicted
He's so contagious, returns my pages
He's got me anxious, he's what I waited for
He keeps me guessin, spontaneous
He's so persuasive, and I'm his lady
He's so contagious, returns my pages
He's got me anxious, he's what I waited for
He keeps me guessin, spontaneous
Jimmy wakes up hoping today will be a better day,
hoping somehow today will be better than yesterday.
Frustration, hate, and lies and anger are all he sees today.
What a lame day when Jimmy hasn't even left his bed.
If Jimmy leaves his room he knows just what's in store.
A house full of drama and he can't take no more.
Then his brother stops and glares and stares and says,
"You think you're better than me!"
What's going on why won't they let Jimmy be?
And Jimmy said...
[Chorus:]
I'm not going home tonight
It just don't feel right.
I'm gonna have to stay out late.
I've gotta figure this one out
On these lonely streets oh yeah,
And it's the only way.
Jimmy's parents argue about the house.
"Where's the dinner?" Dad yells.
Mom says, "I had to buy a blouse."
Why is the house such a mess, what did you do today?
Mother yells back, "You just don't love me anyway!"
The gum in Jimmy's mouth had already lost it's taste
when Jimmy decided to give up and walk away.
Then he found himself on the streets feeling all alone.
And all he wants now is to be back home.
Millie:
Jimmy, oh Jimmy,
Silly boy,
Gee, what a real swell guy.
Jimmy, oh Jimmy,
Oh, what joy,
He makes your troubles fly.
His glance has fireworks in it.
We kiss, my heart does a whiz-bang,
Flip-flop, heaven-for-a-minute.
Jimmy, oh Jimmy,
Don't you know
What I can't quite confess?
So coax me, implore me,
I promise you won't bore me.
Oh, Jimmy, I might say 'Yes'.
So coax me, implore me,
I promise you won't bore me.
Oh, Jimmy, I might ...
Jimmy!
