lyrics

DON’T MENTION JANE TO JIM

Before our buddy Jim arrives, I thought I’d better get this out of the way
Jim’s been through a little snafu and there’s one name in particular not to say.

Don’t mention Jane to Jim.
Jim and Jane have called it quits
Jim’s a bit of a train-wreck,
Near the end of his wits
Mention Jane to Jim, and you might unravel him
So talk about taxation, immigration or inflation
Just don’t mention Jane to Jim.
They’re no longer what they were
And if you should bump into Jane,
Don’t mention Jim to her.

Mention Jane to Jim
And you might unravel him
So talk of economics, plate tectonics, standup comics,

But, for Pete’s sake don’t mention Jane to Jim,
They’re no longer what they were
And you’ll probably never bump into Jane, but if that should occur,
Don’t mention Jim to her
