Has got a mighty sore tooth
From biting too many dimes
In a telephone booth
He's 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
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
Chorus:
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
Oughtta stay out of pictures
If they got nothin' to say
Stack 'em back on the rack jack
Ya know, you're hurting my eye
Forbidden jimmy
He's 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, they're gonna be sorry
They're gonna pay for it too
Forbidden jimmy
He's coming straight at you
Forbidden jimmy Has got a mighty sore tooth From biting too many dimes In a telephone booth He's 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 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 Chorus: 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 Oughtta stay out of pictures If they got nothin' to say Stack 'em back on the rack jack Ya know, you're hurting my eye Forbidden jimmy He's 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, they're gonna be sorry They're gonna pay for it too Forbidden jimmy He's coming straight at you Explain Request ×
