A storm was raging in Jimmy's heart
He couldn't face the day
Just a boy tryin' to be a man
Till Jimmy's best friend said, "come out and play"
With a shotgun, he put a record on
Said "bye-bye" to his favorite song
Now he's gone! He's gone, gone, gone!
Now he's gone! He's gone, gone, gone!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
It's just another rock 'n' roll suicide
Don't do it, Jimmy, don't do it!
Another teenage Jekyll shows his Hyde, ah, yeah
It's just another rock 'n' roll suicide
Jimmy done it, Jimmy gone an' done it!
Little Jimmy Vance was his mother's pride and joy!
Down in the graveyard on a tombstone
Lightnin' struck Jimmy's friend
Jimmy lost his face, now he cries in disgrace
You can't blame the priest for the bitter end
With a shotgun, he put a record on
Said "bye-bye" to his favorite song
Now he's gone! He's gone, gone, gone!
Now he's gone! He's gone, gone, gone!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
It's just another rock 'n' roll suicide
Don't do it, Jimmy, don't do it!
Another teenage Jekyll shows his Hyde
It's just another rock 'n' roll suicide
Jimmy done it, Jimmy gone an' done it!
Little Jimmy Vance was his mother's pride, yes, he was!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
It's just another rock 'n' roll suicide
Don't do it, Jimmy, don't do it!
Another teenage Jekyll shows his Hyde
It's just another rock 'n' roll suicide
Jimmy done it, Jimmy gone an' done it!
Little Jimmy Vance was his mother's pride and joy!
That's right
Jimmy done it, Jimmy gone an' done it!
Jimmy done it, Jimmy gone an' done it!
Jimmy done it, Jimmy gone an' done it!
Jimmy done it, Jimmy gone an' done it!
He gone an' done it, he gone an' done it!
Don't blame me!
