Well i kinda feel sorry for jimmy
yeah but you don't know the whole story he wasn't a nice guy
whaddya mean?
let me tell ya
Jimmy's in a wheel chair and i don't care
He used to walk his dog
and then he'd beat him good
like his pretty wife
and now they're up and gone
and jimmy's in a wheelchair and i don't care
He was the president
of a company
he kept his workers poor
he'd lie and cheat and steal
well when justice strikes
well every once in a while
it makes a bullseye hit
well every once in a while
He used to yell and scream
until his son would cry
then he'd run him down
well he don't run no more
jimmy's in a wheelchair and i don't care
He got big and fat
and he was ridin' high
makin' lots of cash
trashin' others' lives
now jimmy's in a wheelchair and i don't care
Lord he had it comin'
now he's cryin' in his beer
lord have mercy on this man
