Lyrics
- Jimmy was a soldier who stuttered like a gawk
But no one ever told us how Katy used to talk
Tho’ she’d always listen to ev’ry word he’d say
She could never figure out, just what it was all about
When she found she was in doubt, she’d lisp to him this way
Chorus
“Thtop your thtuttering, Jimmy, goodneth can’t you thee
You alwayth thtart to thtutter, when you make love to me
Put your armth around me, thqueeth me nithe and fine
But thtop your thtuttering Jimmy
Cauthe you’re only waithting time”
Chorus
“Thtop your thtuttering, Jimmy
Goodneth can’t you thee
You alwayth thtart to thtutter
When you make love to me
Put your armth around me
Thqueeth me nithe and tight
But thtop your thtuttering Jimmy
Cauthe I can’t thtay here all night”
- Jimmy didn’t stutter much after he left Kate
But seem’d to loose the habit
As he left the garden gate
But when he would see her
He’d talk the same old way
Was it something in her eye?
Was it something in her sigh?
I think it was just because
He loved to hear her say
