Jimmy Recard

Let's take it back to 1982 just quickly

I came into this world, and my mum thought

I'ma name this little boy Paul

Plain old, boring old Paul

And I always thought, if I had a different name

Would my life be different? Like

Imagine if I had a name like Jimmy Recard

Evolve from the joker, become the king of the cards

King of the castle, king of the bar stool

Liked by all, nobody thinks he's an arsehole

Pass the parcel to Jimmy

Everybody pass quicker than gettin' offered a glass of Kilkenny

If anything, Jimmy's the man of the millennium

No two men can better him, not even Lenny and Carl

I put a penny in the jar

I swear he's rare as seein' Henny in your minibar

Face of the cinema, like Andy Garcia

But compared to Jimmy, Andy's so last year

Brassieres are thrown at his feet

Ladies love him 'cause he's got a little dimple in his cheek

Makin' me sick to my stomach

And there's nothing you can do, you gotta love him

(You gotta love him, it's)

J.R., Jimmy Recard

Raise your glass for the king of the bar, it's

J.R., Jimmy Recard

Women swingin' their arse, ladies swingin' their bra for

J.R., Jimmy Recard

All my people singin', "Hurrah, hurrah," for J.R.

Come and get down with J.R.

He was always at the right place at the right time

Had a lifeline wiser than ninety-five percent of the sci-fi followers

Had his collar popped down like they should be

Livin' off laughter like Lano and Woodley

And it could be 'cause he had the world in his palm

Every week, a different girl on his arm

His mum a doctor, dad, a rockstar

Concoct a little something, nine months, they popped out a

Raise your glass for the king of the bar, it's

J.R., Jimmy Recard

Women swingin' their arse, ladies swingin' their bra for

J.R., Jimmy Recard

All my people singin', "Hurrah, hurrah," for J.R.

Come and get down with J.R.

The J, the I, the M, the M, the Y, the J, the I, the M

It's Jimmy, it's Jimmy

The J (Jimmy is Jimmy, no matter what)

The I (Jimmy is Jimmy, no matter what)

The M (Jimmy is Jimmy, no matter what)

It's Jimmy

Yeah, check

It's like everything he touches turns to gold, it's amazing

Destiny on his side like Jay-Z pushin' up daisies

A breath of fresh air, the best there is

Like gettin' in the electric chair and live, untouchable

He'd never perish, reason what luck was for

He was the fairest of them all

Like mirror, mirror on the wall, like Wirrpanda on the ball

Mum comes up with Paul when there's names like Jimmy

Any plan of gimmick, every man will mimic Jimmy

Openin' more doors than a jimmy

That's why he's always fucking swimmin' in his winnings

The name's ringin' in your ears, man, isn't it?

Living in jealousy like a prisoner to visitors

He was oblivious to sunshine, day, night

Would my luck change if I was given a name like

J.R., Jimmy Recard?

Raise your glass for the king of the bar, it's

J.R., Jimmy Recard

Women swingin' their arse, ladies swingin' their bra for

J.R., Jimmy Recard

All my people singin', "Hurrah, hurrah," for J.R.

Come and get down with J.R.
