A delightful romp full of goofy alliteration.

lyrics

Jumping Jolly Jimmy John Bat Bennett

Jimmy John is twenty-two, but he’s fifty-four
Beery boozing late at night and snoozing on the floor
Leering lurid lecher, his mind keeps in the dirt
With a flash- quite unabashed- he’s chasing every skirt

Oh Jimmy John, you’re much too old for that
You should be feeding pigeons or caring for a cat
Your mother wouldn’t like it, she’d tell you right away
Jimmy John, you naughty boy, you’ll give me hair the grey

Jumping Jolly Jimmy John joins the healthy spa
Barely bending barbells, but spotting sporty bras
Hooting owls and snapping towels
He thinks he’s made the scene
Working his imagination positively green

Oh Jimmy John, you don’t use spas for this
You should be in aerobics, not trolling for a kiss
The manager don’t like it, he’ll show you to the door
Jolly Jim, you randy runt, you’re rotten to the core

Jolly Jim and women swimmin’ fit to make you drool
Skinny dipping honeys dripping naked by the pool
Open airs and derrieres don’t make it at the country club
And no doubt they’re kicking out your frilly fanny flub

Oh Jimmy John, when will you learn the tune
Your body is in autumn, but still your mind’s in June
The end of you is certain to come from these foolish games
Jumping Jolly Jimmy John is going down in flames

Amazing.
Phenomenal. Unbelievable. These are the adjectives most commonly used to describe the Singer/Guitarist from Flower Mound, whether they are talking about his voice, or his guitar playing. Now in his fifth year as a Solo Performer on the National stage, Bat leaves quite an impression wherever he plays.
Amazing guitar playing, wonderful storytelling, absolutely delightful.
