Jimmy was a poor man he's six feet tall
and he lives on the floor in a great big doorway
on the street where his feet stick out through the
holes in his shoes and he's got old
Clothes on his back and a sideways hat
fat lipped and a grin got hairs on his chin
he says hello boys, hello girls
won't you come and sit with me
He says oh, what would you like to say
and he says oh, what do you like about me
(Chorus)
Jimmy what, Jimmy what, Jimmy what you goy for me said
Jimmy what, Jimmy what, Jimmy what you got for me
I said Jimmy what, well i said Jimmy what have you got
for me
Don't say, don't say, don't say,
don't say to me what you got for me
Crusty grass in your pocket stop it throw it away
and stay clear of the smoke and the subway
broken glass on the floor and it bloody stinks,
you don't even care Jim another drink
will take away your fears of living life today
but not for long my friend it'll be back again
like the wind and the rain soaking your skin
and the cardboard house that your living in
He says oh, what would you like to say
and he says oh, what do you like about me
(Chorus)
Jimmy what, Jimmy what, Jimmy what you got for me
said Jimmy what, Jimmy what, Jimmy what you got for me
I said Jimmy what, well i said Jimmy what have you got
for me
Don't say, don't say, don't say, don't say to me what
you got for me
He says (don't say) He says (don't say)
So go and take a walk with me Jimmy come and see what
your missing
don't struggle and buckle under the trouble no more
six billion people and we've all felt down in the
silence
Don't let it beat you, and don't let it beat you
and don't let it beat and don't let it beat you down,
woah oh ah oh
(Chorus)
Jimmy what, Jimmy what, Jimmy what you got for me
said Jimmy what, Jimmy what, Jimmy what you got for me
I said Jimmy what, well i said Jimmy what have you got
for me
Jimmy was a poor man he's six feet tall
and he lives on the floor in a great big doorway
on the street where his feet stick out through the
holes in his shoes and he's got old
Clothes on his back and a sideways hat
fat lipped and a grin got hairs on his chin
he says hello boys, hello girls
won't you come and sit with me
He says oh...
