They Were All Out of Step But Jim Lyrics by Billy Murray

0

[Verse 1]
Jimmy's mother went to see her son
Marching along on parade
In his uniform and with his gun
What a lovely picture he made
She came home that evening
Filled up with delight
And to all the neighbors
She would yell with all her might
[Chorus]
"Did you see my little Jimmy marching
With the soldiers up the avenue?
There was Jimmy just as stiff as starch
Just like his father on the seventeenth o' March
Did you notice all the lovely ladies
Casting their eyes at him?
Away he went
To live in a tent
Over in France with his regiment
Were you there, and tell me, did you notice?
They were all out of step but Jim"
[Verse 2]
That night little Jimmy's father stood
Buying the drinks for the crowd
You could tell that he was feeling good
He was talking terribly loud
Twenty times he treated
My, but he was dry
When his glass was empty
He would treat again and cry
[Chorus]
"Did you see me little Jimmy marching
With the soldiers up the avenue?
There was Jimmy just as stiff as starch
Like his father on the seventeenth o' March
Did you notice all the lovely ladies
A-casting their eyes at him?
Sure it made me glad
To gaze at the lad
And Lord help the Kaiser if he's like his dad
Were you there, oh you were, well did you notice?
They were all out of step but Jim"
