The Ballad of Jimmy King

So he wakes up under this lonely bridge his home An old scruffy jacket and a hut is all that he owns He dreams to sleep in a house Where his wife covers him with love His children are playing hide-and-seek in the backyard He goes to the restaurant his empty stomach leads him there But the owner screams to call the police - get out of here He dreams to sit at a rich table where the waitress brings him some wine He lights up a cigar and covers his eyes from the sunshine Jimmy in your world you are the king Jimmy in your world you don't have to care about a thing And you wear gentle clothes and a bright shining crown Everybody seems to know you in the whole town So he goes to the place where all the artists meet The musicians are singing and dancing in the street He dreams to stand in the spotlight And everybody loves him He sings songs of an old poor ma having a dream Jimmy in your world you are the king Jimmy in your world you don't have to care about a thing And you wear gentle clothes and a bright shining crown Everybody seems to know you in the whole town Jimmy in your world you are the king Jimmy in your world you don't have to care about a thing And you wear gentle clothes and a bright shining crown Everybody seems to know you in the whole town
