Jimmy Spoons.
Down along our city streets on Summer afternoons
There walked an old Man
They called him Jimmy Spoons.
Times
that I remember
When I was just a lad.
We followed him the long long day through.
Chorus.
He’e Jimmy wont ye play one more tune
One of those ye learned across in france
Come on Jimmy
wont ye give us just one more
Play once for the little kick and dance
La la la
Play once for the little kick and
dance.

The desona Organ and his spoons like this Oldtimer
All the kids they followed him
He didn’t
seem to mind.
Times I often wondered
Why he was just a tramp.
And every once and the long long days were done.
Chorus
He’e Jimmy wont ye play one more tune
One of those ye learned across in France.
Come on Jimmy
wont ye give us just one more
Play once for the little kick and dance
La La La
Play once for the little kick and
dance.

All the medals that he wore
Shon in the sun
Memories of the trenches the war
that was long gone.
Now,
he was no soldier
Just a dosser out of luck
Living in that hospel on the hill.
Chorus.
He’e Jimmy wont ye play one more tune
One of those ye learned across in france
Come on Jimmy
wont ye give us just one more
Play once for the little kick and dance
La la la la
Play once for the little kick and
dance.

Down along our City streets I walked passed my old home
I’ve seen some changes now that I have grown.
Ee’r
you hear them singing on a summer
Afternoon
When all the kids sing to Jimmys spoons.
Last Chorus.
He’e Jimmy wont ye play one more tune
One of those ye learned across in france
Come on
Jimmy wont ye give us just one more
Play once for the little kick and dance
la la la
Play once for the little
kick and dance.
