VERSE 01: Jimmy’s mother went to see her son,/Marching along on parade;/In his uniform and with his gun,/What a lovely picture he made./She came home that ev’ning,/Filled up with delight;/And to all the neighbors,/She would yell with all her might: VERSE 02: That night little Jimmy’s father stood,/Buying the drinks for the crowd;/You could tell that he was feeling good,/He was talking terribly loud,/Twenty times he treated,/My! But he was dry;/When his glass was empty,/He would treat again and cry: CHORUS: “Did you see my little Jimmy marching,/With the soldiers up the avenue?/There was Jimmy just as stiff as starch,/Like his Daddy on the seventeenth of March,/Did you notice all the lovely ladies,/Casting their eyes on him?/[Away he went,/To live in a tent;/Over in France with his regiment.]/[It made me glad,/To gaze at the lad;/Lord help the Kaiser if he’s like his Dad.]/Were you there, and tell me, did you notice?/They were all out of step buy Jim.”/Did you Jim.” | |
