Jena & Jimmy

Jean and Jimmy they met at a rally to bring our boys back from the war
Jimmy was dancing he was dancing like crazy showing no mercy to the dance floor
Jena was minding she was minding her business she did not want no company
Till Jimmy spotted her like a lamb to the slaughter and he coaxed her over with a Martini
And Jimmy said...
Oooo Oooo Oooooooo Oooo Oooo oooooo
Oooo Oooo Oooooooo Oooo Oooo oooooo
She could feel it hitting her bloodstream
Before she knew it she was up on his chopping block
And he was flaggin down a taxi
And Jimmy said...'
If you give me your love I'll give you my love I'll give you my love
Gonna take one kiss to shut you up and that'll be enough
If you give me your love I'll give you my love I'll give you my love
Gonna kiss your lips to shut you up
She told him stories of social injustices and constitutional rights
He smirked and turned his head, just lighten up he said, baby we got all night
Jena was beautiful and spoke convincingly he listened just like a priest
His best shot at stopping her was if he co-opted her
So he got two more rounds of drinks
And Jimmy said...
Oooo Oooo Oooooooo Oooo Oooo oooooo
Oooo Oooo Oooooooo Oooo Oooo oooooo
Jimmy held her like an enemy
Then toasted global peace and dovetailing interests
As he threw his shot back with a wink
And Jimmy said...'
If you give me your love I'll give you my love I'll give you my love
Gonna take one kiss to shut you up and that'll be enough
If you give me your love I'll give you my love I'll give you my love
Gonna kiss your lips to shut you up
If you give me your love I'll give you my love I'll give you my love
Gonna take one kiss to shut you up and that'll be enough
If you give me your love I'll give you my love I'll give you my love
Gonna kiss your lips to shut you up
