Told Her When It Comes To Talking,
I'm The Sweetest Sweet-Talker In The World,
She Said You Better Start Talking If You Want Me To Be Your Girl.
And She Said, "Go, Jimmy, Go." She Said, "Go, Jimmy, Go."
Well, I Talked Her Off The Floor When She Said, "Go, Jimmy, Go."
I Told When It Comes To Dancing,
I'm The Best Young Dancer In The Land,
Well, She Looked At Me With A Twinkle In Her Eyes
And Then She Took My Hand.
And She Said, "Go, Jimmy, Go." She Said, "Go, Jimmy, Go."
Well, I Talked Her Off The Floor When She Said, "Go, Jimmy, Go."
And She Said, "Go, Jimmy, Go." She Said, "Go, Jimmy, Go."
Well, I Talked Her Off The Floor When She Said, "Go, Jimmy, Go."
I Told Her When It Comes To Kissing,
I Ain't Nothing But A Kissing Fool,
She Started To Giggle When I Told Her That I'd Teach Her
Things She'd Never Learn In School,
And She Said, "Go, Jimmy, Go." She Said, "Go, Jimmy, Go."
Well, I Talked Her Off The Floor When She Said, "Go, Jimmy, Go." "Go,
Jimmy, Go." "Go, Jimmy, Go."
