NURSERY RHYMES
Teeters and totters
Mothers and fathers
Hopscotch and jump rope
Go round and round
There was a time
Faces full of promise
Hands touching windows
See you around
Where are the playgrounds
Where are all the toys
Games with no losers
Good girls and boys
Grace before dinner
Where's the happy ending
Drinking and screaming
They've taken Jimmy
From nursery rhymes to prison time
When I was young
Nothing was impossible
But those years have passed
My dreams didn't last
And here is my life
Quarter to and half past
Light bugs and lemonade
Jimmy you're a bad boy
Where are the playgrounds
See you around
Light bugs and lemonade
Jimmy you're a bad boy
Grace me for dinner
They've taken Jimmy
From nursery rhymes to prison time
Light bugs and lemonade
Jimmy you're a bad boy
Grace before dinner
Games with no losers
They've taken him away
Teeters and totters
Hotdogs and lemonade
Mothers and fathers
Hopscotch and jump rope
Go round and round
There was a time
Faces full of promise
Hands touching windows
See you around
Where are the playgrounds
Where are all the toys
Games with no losers
Good girls and boys
Grace before dinner
Where's the happy ending
Drinking and screaming
They've taken Jimmy
From nursery rhymes to prison time
When I was young
Nothing was impossible
But those years have passed
My dreams didn't last
And here is my life
Quarter to and half past
Light bugs and lemonade
Jimmy you're a bad boy
Where are the playgrounds
See you around
Light bugs and lemonade
Jimmy you're a bad boy
Grace me for dinner
They've taken Jimmy
From nursery rhymes to prison time
Light bugs and lemonade
Jimmy you're a bad boy
Grace before dinner
Games with no losers
They've taken him away
Teeters and totters
Hotdogs and lemonade
