Forbidden Jimmy Lyrics - Common Sense - John Prine

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 

Photos 

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
