Spring-Heeled Jim

Spring-heeled Jim winks an eye
He'll ";do";, he'll never be ";done to";
He takes on whoever flew through
";Well, it's the normal thing to do"; ... ah ...
Spring-heeled Jim lives to love
Now kissing with his mouth full
And his eyes on some other fool
So many women
His head should be spinning
Ah, but no !
Ah, but no !
But no !
Ah, no !
Spring-heeled Jim slurs the words :
";There's no need to be so knowing
Take life at five times the
Average speed, like I do";
Until Jim feels the chill
";Oh, where did all the time go ?";
Once always in for the kill
Now it's too cold
And he feels too
old
Too old
Mmm, old...
La, la, la, la-la, la ...
