Lyrics

Forbidden Jimmy
 Has got a mighty sore tooth
 From biting too many dimes
 In a telephone booth
 He's got half of his boot lace
 Tied to the dial
 Well 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
 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
 Oughta 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
 Gonna make all your sorrows bright
 Set your soul free
 I'll see you tomorrow night
 If I can still see
 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
