Jimmy the Fish

I wanna tell you ‘bout a tasty dish
You only get from Jimmy the Fish
You gonna find him in every town
It don’t take much to track him down

You want it battered, crumbed or fried
A juicy piece a lemon sitting on the side
Wrap it up in paper, yesterday’s news
Guaranteed to chase away a dose of the blues

Chorus
Jimmy the Fish
Jimmy the Fish
You’ll find him on the corner and his food’s delish!
You can travel that coast goin’ up or down
And there’s gonna be a Jimmy the Fish in town

The oil is hot, and the batter is smooth
Now listen good people, ‘cause I’m tellin’ the truth
Be good to Jimmy and he’ll see you right
With a little piece o’ heaven crumbed, battered or fried

Now don’t get caught up in Satan’s net
He’s got some fine bait, he could catch you yet
Hook line and sinker is the devil’s wish
But you will find your salvation at Jimmy the Fish

Jimmy!
You can save my sole
Jimmy!
I fillet in my bones
Jimmy!
I have been prawn again
Ain’t been this fishy since lord knows when!!!!

I got a story, gotta song to sing
‘Bout the love that only Jimmy can bring
You say your prayers and you’ll be baptized
With a little piece o’ heaven crumbed, battered or fried
