What Would Jimmy Do
© 2023 Keith Gilman, Jeff Oxford

Verse 1:
I’m not one for mournin’, dirges ain’t my style
‘Cause the planet still is turnin’, and Sturgis still is wild

Verse 2:
The movers and the shakers, you know they’re all for real
And a plantar laceration, man, is always gonna heal

Chorus:
What Would Jimmy Do? Oh, What Would Jimmy Do?
Forget it, don’t sweat it, or let it make you blue
If you wear a frown, turn it upside down, and have a drink or two
So, go and “parrot-head” it, What Would Jimmy Do?

Verse 3:
There’s a helping of confusion, ‘a blowin’ in the breeze
And an empty, empty feelin’, just flowin’ through the Keys

Verse 4:
But, the sun is gonna set, and the tide she’s gonna rise
And someone’s gonna get, their side of fries in paradise

Chorus:
What Would Jimmy Do? Oh, What Would Jimmy Do?
Forget it, don’t sweat it, or let it make you blue
If you wear a frown, turn it upside down, and have a drink or two
So, go and “parrot-head” it, What Would Jimmy Do?

Instrumental

Chorus (with turnaround):
What Would Jimmy Do? Oh, What Would Jimmy Do?
Forget it, don’t sweat it, or let it make you blue
If you wear a frown, turn it upside down, and have a drink or two
There, someone said it, you know you won’t regret it
So, go and “parrot-head” it, like Jimmy’s here with you

Outro:
In the world to come, If there’s golden rum, and a big ol’ steel drum
Oh, What Would Jimmy Do?

LYRICS TO Along Came Rae

I shrunk my head
Until it fit in my thoughts or so I’ve read
It’s all part of the latest rage
I can’t remember what the analyst said
I’ll spend my day in bed
It’s bound to work itself out instead

I may be your latest hobby, it’s true
Now this may not be a big deal for you
But a mere mortal like me might just get hurt
You’re just an amusing little time killer
I adore you, I despise you, then love you
It’s bound to get convoluted in the end.

Along came Rea
Turning my world upside down
Looks like she’s here to stay
Think I’m falling for Rea

Here upon this lighted stage
Everything is a dodgy situation
Of tactless, mercurial thespians
It’s all so surreal, so pedestrian
In the end we’re here to run the race
With no one ever reaching first place.

Wrestling with an internal diatribe
Fixing a hole deep down inside
I guess that what makes you so smug
You’re acting all sanctimonious
Which gets me quite acrimonious 
I need this fix; you’ve become that drug

Along came Rea
Turning my world upside down
Looks like she’s here to stay
Think I’m falling for Rea
