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
