jimo if I could maneuver a skip like

Bowing in the streets when I walked by

singing my Praises when I left
home but I'm going to change all that
how you know I'm
sure uh I got some plans going to make
people see me a little
different

time oh thank you

morphy so uh how'd that happen
anyway you give up a few
things chasing a

I'm hoping it is
Jimbo I most surely am
