Текст песни Firing Of Jimmy

Hey, you guys, you like my show?
That's it, brother, you gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go
Why I gotta go?
I warned you, Jimmy, you're bringin' us down
I'm not having that kind of behavior around
Oh, Curtis, my man, I was kiddin' around
It was an accident that my pants came down

Save the excuse, it's much too late
You've been acting wild for the last four dates
Man I gotta do somethin' to wake 'em up
I like Johnny Mathis but can't do that stuff
That's because, Jimmy, you don't trust the music
And that's because, Jimmy, you don't trust the word
Yeah, you're right Curtis, that stuff's for the birds

My baby was doing just what he felt
And baby just felt like dropping his belt
Tell why Lorrell, tell why Lorrell
Ever since you been on this tour
You've keep changin' on Jimmy, make him insecure
You put him in tails, make his act cool
Every time he fails you call him a fool
Of course he's confused!
It don't take a wiz
To know that only a desperate man
Would drop his pants in show biz
Thank you, Lorrell, baby, you told it like it is

My man, we're through
What you mean, what you mean we're through?
You're ruinin' the image I'm tryin' to set
You just wanna get as low as you can get
Now, wait a minute, Curtis, I was just bein' Jimmy
You knew what Jimmy was when you first saw Jimmy

You don't understand, Jimmy
Your time is passed
There are two different worlds
Not pop versus soul
Class versus crass

I got soul, man
You can't kill a man with a soul

Come on, brother
Let's try to end as friends, huh?
Love you, baby, nothing personal
C'mon Lorrell

Wait a minute, baby, you're not going, too?
Baby, I love you

Lorrell loves Jimmy
Lorrell loves Jimmy
Lorrell loves Jimmy, it's true
But Lorrell and Jimmy are through
I got a show to do, remember baby?
Oh baby, I got a show to do

Show biz...
It's just show biz...
