Forbidden Jimmy Lyrics by John Prine

Forbidden Jimmy Lyrics

    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
