The Limeliters - Hey Jimmie Joe John Jim Jack lyrics

There once was a tiger, tiny little tiger, playin' with his tiger toys But his nurse-maid made him so afraid, he didn't dare make a noise What happened to the tiger, tiny little tiger, who never learned to roar? He's just a mat, stretched out flat on somebody's bedroom floor What we're sayin' is... Hey, Jimmie, Joe, John, Jim, Jack Even little tigers lose their knack When somebody twice their size Can't see the world through children's eyes There once was a bunny, fluffy little bunny, through the piney woods he'd roam But his mother cried, "Come back inside! A bunny belongs at home!" What happened to the bunny, fluffy little bunny, who never learned to hop? Because the bunny couldn't hop, he hangs in a butcher shop What we're sayin' is... Hey, Jimmie, Joe, John, Jim, Jack Even little bunnieslose their knack When somebody twice their size Can't see the world through children's eyes There once was a beagle, happy little beagle, following his tail around But his father said, "Go straight to bed, and don't make a single sound!" What happened to the beagle, happy little beagle, who never learned to bay? Some burglars came, and to his shame he turned tail and ran away What we're sayin' is... Hey, Jimmie, Joe, John, Jim, Jack Even little beagles lose their knack When somebody twice their size Can't see the world through children's eyes Don't do this Don't do that You might as well just be a statue That's how children lose their spark But if grown-ups would take part in things that children have their heart in They'd never end up hiding in the dark What we're sayin is... Hey, Jimmy, Jack, John, Jim, Joe When you have your own kids let them know Even though you're twice their size You see the world through children's eyes
