Jimmy the Fish
Jimmy the Fish: A Melodic Taste of Redemption
Lyrics
I wanna tell you 'bout a tasty dish
I want to talk about a delicious meal
You only get from Jimmy the Fish
This meal is exclusively provided by Jimmy the Fish
You gonna find him in every town
He can be found in every town
It don't take much to track him down
Finding him isn't difficult
You want it battered, crumbed or fried
He offers various cooking styles: battered, crumbed, or fried
A juicy piece a lemon sitting on the side
A serving suggestion includes a lemon on the side
Wrap it up in paper, yesterday's news
The meal is wrapped in yesterday's news (newspaper)
Guaranteed to chase away a dose of the blues
Eating this meal is guaranteed to alleviate sadness
Jimmy the Fish
Reiteration of Jimmy the Fish's name
Jimmy the Fish
-You'll find him on the corner and his food's delish
He can be found on a corner and his food is delicious
You can travel that coast goin' up or down
His presence spans along the coast, both north and south
And there's gonna be a Jimmy the Fish in town
In any direction on the coast, there will be a Jimmy the Fish
The oil is hot, and the batter is smooth
Oil is hot, batter is well-prepared
Now listen good people, 'cause I'm tellin' the truth
Stating the truth about Jimmy the Fish's food
Be good to Jimmy and he'll see you right
Be kind to Jimmy and he'll offer you something great
With a little piece o' heaven crumbed, battered or fried
He will provide a heavenly dish, prepared differently
Now don't get caught up in Satan's net
Warning against falling into temptation
He's got some fine bait, he could catch you yet
Referring to Satan's ability to entice
Hook line and sinker is the devil's wish
Being completely caught by temptation is undesirable
But you will find your salvation at Jimmy the Fish
Salvation can be found through Jimmy the Fish
Jimmy
Addressing Jimmy directly
You can save my sole
Pun on "sole" (fish) and "soul" (spirit)
Jimmy
Pun on "fillet" and feeling something deeply
I fillet in my bones
Another play on words, "prawn" and "born"
Jimmy
Wordplay on being born again (a religious reference)
I have been prawn again
Feeling uncertain or doubtful
Ain't been this fishy since lord knows when
Feeling unsure since a long time ago
I got a story, gotta song to sing
A personal narrative about the unique love Jimmy brings
'Bout the love that only Jimmy can bring
Jimmy's love is exceptional and worth singing about
You say your prayers and you'll be baptized
Suggesting a path to spiritual purity through prayers and Jimmy's food
With a little piece o' heaven crumbed, battered or fried
Reiteration of the heavenly dish offered by Jimmy
