Jimmy
By S. Loper for MAU

Jimmy sang a song when he was just five years old
It warmed the hearts around him, and warded off the cold
Ranger saw it happen, said there’s a tale to be told…
…Took him to Avalon

Ranger drove a Maverick, said it always made him smile
It battled foreign imports, saw him through every trial
Jimmy’s voice grew stronger with the passing of each mile…
…of the road to Avalon

(Chorus)
We gotta get on
To Avalon
To get this kid
To sing his song
To wake the dead
It won’t be long
Let’s get this kid
To Avalon

Ranger crossed the outback, spreading Jimmy’s faith
Over tundra they were followed by a silver wraith
The spirit meant to cut them down, leaving not a trace…
…of hope for Avalon

Talons grabbed up Jimmy so the brat let fourth a cry
The premier sent his lancers and his regal Samurai
The battle raged on for 88 days, and 88 nights…
…the battle for Avalon

Jimmy had a vision and shared it with the rest 
A javelin pierced the heart right through the viper’s chest
The imperial escort finally aced the test
…they were off to Avalon

The mountaineer guided them to the valley below
Across the swamp they traveled, the will-o-wisps did glow
Ahead of them they saw it, Avalon slowly rose

The dyeing realm they entered, the king did not have long
Jimmy was urged forward, Ranger told him to be strong
Jimmy poured his heart and soul in to this healing song
…the song for Avalon

His odyssey over, Jimmy’s legend would eclipse
But first each stanza of his song must echo from his lips
Jimmy opened up his throat, his song sounded like this:

Written for the band Dutch, this is an old practice recording that I overdubbed vocals on.  Recorded by Nathan Kingham.  Drum tracks were good but we never recorded new bass or guitar.  I added the vocals at home so we would have a demo of the song.

Quick demo of song for working out arrangement
