Forbidden Jimmy by John Prine G Forbidden Jimmy D Has got a mighty sore tooth C From biting too many dimes D G In a telephone booth G He's got half of his boot lace D Tied to the dial C Well thank you operator D G For getting Jimmy to smile G "Call out the coast guard" D Screamed the police C Forbidden Jimmy D G He's got three water skis G He put two on his wavelength D And gave one to his girl C She's a mighty fine person D G It's a mighty fine world C I'm gonna make all your sorrows bright G Set your soul free C I'll see you tomorrow night D If I can still see G Ginger Caputo D And Dorian Gray C Oughta stay out of pictures D G If they got nothin' to say G Stack 'em back on the rack Jack D Ya know, you're hurting my eye C Forbidden Jimmy D G He's getting ready to fly C Gonna make all your sorrows bright G Set your soul free C I'll see you tomorrow night D If I can still see G I got caught cooking popcorn D And calling it hail C They wanna stick my head D G Inside a water pail G Ya know, they're gonna be sorry D They're gonna pay for it too C Forbidden jimmy D G He's coming straight at you
