Jimmy cream was keen, his brain was always winnin’,
Bb Eb Bb EbI can’t keep tabs on mine, it’s really quite a joke
Bb Eb Bb EbI see him down the road, I ask if he’d be willing
To lend me 15p - I’m dying for a smoke
Don’t arrange to have me sent to no asylum
I’m just as sane as anyone
Eb Bb Eb Eb C#It’s a just a game I play for fun - for fun.
[Verse] -

He is very likely to,
C F/CWill he feel good inside?
F G FHe ain’t very likely to,
Will he tell you he’s alive?
F G FHe is always trying to

C Dm Em G AmAnd in the evening or the noonday sun
