lyrics

JIMMY

I’m standing here beside the big decision
I’m standing all alone
I’m hearing quite a bit of noise below me
I’m picking up the phone

My fingers dial, my mind is thinking small child
He chased the cat and mouse
He followed them right through an open air vent
He’s underneath the house

The line is busy, what do I do

Oh no, Jimmy’s down below
How could he know
Oh no, why did Jimmy go
Way down below

I was gonna fix that vent this weekend
Make it look brand new
You wouldn’t think a kid could squeeze like that
The way those critters do

Oh, I could always just pull up those floorboards
If it comes to that
That old carpet sure could use replacing
Thanks to that darn cat

The line is busy, what do I do

Oh no, Jimmy’s down below
How could he know
Oh no, why did Jimmy go
Way down below

I’m waiting for a sign to calmly panic
Where’s those rescue team drones
They’re probably drinking beer and playing football
With disconnected phones

I’ll write a letter to that jerk in Congress
I’ll tell him where I stand
How could those people turn their backs on Jimmy
I just can’t understand

The line is busy, what do I do

Oh no, Jimmy’s down below
How could he know
Oh no, why did Jimmy go
Way down below
