real leather jacket - vivan stanshall lyrics

jimmy spent his packet on a real leather jacket with a lot of zip
and greasing back his hair in the mirror in his room he learned to curl his lip
he wore 12*inch bottom jeans with metal studs shining down the seams
(he liked to show off just like any growing kid)
and on his leather belt he spelt: “don’t”
(and no one did)

when his mama saw his clobber she said “jimmy you’re a yobbo and you won’t go far)
and when he’d done an awful brooding he packed all his stuff including his harmonica
he left his home and his mama didn’t know that he was going and it made her cry
(’cause shе lost her little boy)
after all thе years she’d given him he could have had the decency to say goodbye

(jimmy)
don’t be a fool
(jimmy)
change your mind come back
(maybe)
some day soon
(jimmy)
you’ll turn bad

jim went through a job or two till a geezer that he knew said “be like me”
i move around a lot and there’s n0body there to tell me what i ought to be
some people call us didicoys but in the fairground we’re the boys can’t keep the slags away
(you better wash it when you’re done)
jimmy [?] drop your load tomorrow we’re back on the road and it’s another day
(it sounds a lot of fun)
(oom*wa oom*wa oom*wa oom*wa ooh)
(oom*wa oom*wa oom*wa oom*wa ooh)
(oom*wa oom*wa oom*wa oom*wa aah)
(oom*wa oom*wa oom*wa oom*wa ooh)
(oom*wa oom*wa oom*wa oom*wa aah)

when jim heard about the cracker he said “[?] i’ll cut and lead the way”
the boss gave him a star and in half a sparrow’s fart he’d had his end away
(strike one [?])
he was flashing he was fast and his past was soon forgotten on the dodgem cars
(like the [?])
under all those coloured lights he started thinking that he might some one day be a star
(fat chance)

(oom*wa oom*wa oom*wa oom*wa ooh)
(oom*wa oom*wa oom*wa oom*wa aah)
(oom*wa oom*wa oom*wa oom*wa ooh)
