Lyrics
The whole town’s talkin’ about the Jones boy
The Jones boy, the Jones boy
The whole town’s talkin’ about the Jones boy
He acts mighty peculiar now
The whole town’s sayin’ he was a good boy
A nice boy, a swell boy
The whole town thinks that he’s not a well boy
He just isn’t the same somehow
He hops, he jumps, so merrily over the waterpumps
He stops and then
He’ll come to a pump and he’ll jump again
They’re buzzin’ over the fences
That he’s gone out of his senses
The whole town’s talkin’ about the Jones boy
That poor boy, the Jones boy
But I just happen to be the Jones boy
And I happen to be in love
Yes, I happen to be in love
