Jimmy The Shark
He slips in the joint unnoticed
He's always dressed to kill
With his wingtip shoes and his mohair suit
He knows how to break your will
He's as silent as a sailboat
Only comes out at night
He swings through the crowd to find a new gal
Then sashays out of sight
But he's a swindler, he's a cheat
On the prowl for his next something sweet
He may look like a real good catch, but honey you know it's all a trap
You can dip your toe but don't dive in or he will leave a mark
Don't go swimming with Jimmy, Jimmy the shark
He circles 'round the edges
Smooth moves are his bait
When he senses blood, he starts the hunt
Every pretty dame's his prey
He's looking for your weakness
There's hunger in those eyes
He'll lure you in with his toothy grin
Then move in to take a bite
Oh, he's a swindler, he's a cheat
On the prowl for his next something sweet
He may look like a real good catch, but honey you know it's all a trap
You can dip your toe but don't dive in or he will leave a mark
Don't go swimming with Jimmy, Jimmy the shark
Oh, no
He's a swindler, he's a cheat
On the prowl for his next something sweet
He may look like a real good catch, but honey you know it's all a trap
You can dip your toe but don't dive in or he will leave a mark
Don't go swimming with Jimmy, Jimmy the shark
He comes in with the tide, then goes out with your heart
Don't go swimming, don't go swimming, don't go swimming
Don't go swimming with Jimmy, Jimmy the shark
Jimmy the shark
