Jimmy McGee

I met him back in 1982
And right away he suggested something I ought to do
It was a workshop he said it was something to behold
It was important to do before I got old
That's how I got to know Jimmy McGee
He made a pretty big impression on me

Transformation was the workshop theme
All I remember, it was pretty extreme
When it was over you were meant to tell the world
To come and join the transformation team
That's where Jimmy's talent shone through
I watched him invite everybody he knew

Jimmy'd say
You should try it
You're going to love it
It changed my life and it'll change yours too
It's remarkable and extraordinary
It's something that I really think you ought to do

Tried a lotta things cuz Jimmy encouraged me
Like yoga, pilates and homeopathy
Accupuncture, Rajneesh and meditation
And some other things that I probly shouldn't mention
Most of everything I've done to fix up my life
Were the result of Jimmy's advice

Jimmy's been searching through all of his days
For ways to change the world in significant ways
It's clear that job will never get done
Unless he shares his insights with everyone

Sometimes I listened to what Jimmy suggested
I try it out at least once or twice
Then I'd come by to tell him that he'd made a difference
And I'd thank him for his advice
He'd say thanks but that was so yesterday
Let me tell you what I'm into today

Jimmy'd say
You should try it
You're going to love it
It changed my life and it'll change yours too
It's remarkable and extraordinary
It's something that I really think you ought to do

These days Jimmy's over 80 years old
You'd think that he would finally start to slow down
But if anything it looks as though he just got started
Still gets excited 'bout the ideas he's found
Now he swears that he's finally discovered a way
To make being old seem almost Ok

Jimmy'd say
You should try it
You're going to love it
It changed my life and it'll change yours too
It's remarkable, extraordinary
It's something that I really think you ought to do
