Jimmy Brown

Thanks to Jessie Leone, who sent this song to me!

Run and jump and skip and fall

You think you're tall but you're so small

Mama calls for supper no more play

Soon'll come tomorrow, it'll be another day

Chorus:

Singing hey-la-di-da, oh-la-di-de

Oh-lee-oat-an-oh and alli-oxen-free

Oh, I can run faster than Jimmy Brown

I'm the king of the mountain and you'll never get me down

Up bright and early, got a lot to do

Gonna build a castle and go to the zoo

And visit Mother Goose in storybook land

Why does mommy hold my hand?

I'm pretty old now, five and a half

Gonna be like daddy and never laugh

Cause when you're old you've gotta be strong

You're not a child for very long

All grown up now, on my own

Oh, how I wish I could go back home

And play all day with my old friends

Why does childhood have to end?
