Artist/Band: Richard Thompson
Lyrics for Song: Don't Sit On My Jimmy Shands
Lyrics for Album: Rt: The Life And Music Of Richard Thompson [2006]



When the party hit full swing, I saw you come reeling in

You had that six pack in a stranglehold

Now you stagger, now you sway, why don't you fall the other way?

'Cause I've got something here worth more than gold



I said, ?Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands, don't sit on my Jimmy Shands

They don't mend with sticky tape and glue?

Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands, don't sit on my Jimmy Shands

And that's my very best advice to you



Call me precious, I don't mind, 78's are hard to find

You just can't get the shellac since the war

This one's the Beltona brand, finest label in the land

They don't make 'em like that anymore



I said, ?Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands, don't sit on my Jimmy Shands

Unless you wanna wind up black and blue?

Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands, don't sit on my Jimmy Shands

And that's my very best advice to you



Darling, though you're twice my size, I don't mean to patronize

Honey, let me lead you by the hand

Find a lap or find a chair, you can park it anywhere

Just don't rest your cheeks against my man



I said, ?Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands, don't sit on my Jimmy Shands

They don't mend with sticky tape and glue?

Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands, don't sit on my Jimmy Shands

And that's my very best advice to you



No shindig is half complete without that famous polka beat

That's why they invite me, I suppose

Waltzes, Strathspey's, eightsome reels, now you know how good it feels

Crank that handle babe, away she goes



I said, ?Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands, don't sit on my Jimmy Shands

Unless you wanna wind up black and blue

I said, ?Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands, don't sit on my Jimmy Shands

And that's my very best advice to you?
