You've Got a Friend In Jimbo
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Whenever you are lonesome and it's late at night
And everyone around you is a little uptight
Whenever you need, you need a little lift
Jimbo is the man, the man with the gift
When murky water stands in your above ground pool
And some evil thing is living in your barn
When it's four am and you're all alone
And no one really gives a golly gosh darn
When the devil makes you look at those evil red lips
And you wish they were kissin' on you
Remember that you have got a friend, and he's got a friend in you
Can i get a hallelu? -hallelujah!
You've got a friend in jimbo, you've got a friend in him
The biblical name for him is james, the nickname for james is jim
The nickname for jim is jimbo, what very very special things he'll do
Yeah you've got a friend in jimbo, if he's got a friend in you
What a special friend he's been to you your trailer is... is double wide
You'll always have plenty of soup from the can with jimbo by your side
And when you walk into the darkness with jimbo (beer in hand)
He'll lead you like a little lamb to deer park texas land
Oh!
You've got a friend in jimbo, you've got a friend in him
The biblical name for him is james, the nickname for james is jim
The nickname for jim is jimbo, what very very special things he'll do
Yeah you've got a friend in jimbo, if he's got a friend in you
Oh!
You've got a friend in jimbo you've got a friend for life
You've got a shoulder to cry on if you've just lost your boyfriend or your wife.
So! you got a friend in jimbo and he's got a friendly beer to lend
When troubles just won't end and you've been forced to bend you
Maybe feel like you're in limbo but you've got a friend in jimbo
Maybe feel like you're in limbo but you've got a friend in jimbo
Maybe feel like you're in limbo but you've got a friend in jimbo
Maybe feel like you're in limbo but you've got a friend in jimbo
Stop!
Hold on just one second don't get caught in the devil's runaround
Cause it just goes and it goes and it goes and it goes...
Hey! look up there there's a light shining down from above
And it's saying something, do you know what it says? -what does it say?
It says you, you need, you need you need you need you need you need
A special friend until the end it says you need you need you need you need a friend
Until the end a special friend it says you neeeeeed
You need a friend until the end you need you need you need you need a friend
You need a friend until the end
You need you need you need you need you need you need you need you need
You need you need you need you need you need you need you need you need you
Stop!
You've got a friend in jimbo you've got a friend in him
The biblical name for him is james the nickname for james is jim.
Oh!
The nickname for jim is jimbo and he's your very very special friend.
Yeah you've got a friend in jimbo and he's got a beer to lend a friend.
