Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]When the party hit full swing
[C]I saw you come reeling in
You [G]had that six-pack in
in a strangle[C]hold
[G]Now you stagger, now you sway
[C]Why don't you fall the other way
Cause [F]I've got something here
[G]Worth more than gol[C]d

[Verse 2]
I said [F]"Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
[C]Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
[G]They don't mend with
sticky tape and [C]glue
[F]Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
[C]Don't sit on my Jimmy Shand[F]s
And that's my very be
[G]st advice to you"
[C]

[Verse 3]
[G]Call me precious, I don't [C]mind
78s are hard to find
You [G]just can't get the
shellac since the [C]war
[G]This one's the Beltona brand
[C]Finest label in the land
[F]They don't make them like
[G]that anymore
[C]

[Verse 4]
I said [F]"Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
[C]Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
Un[G]less you want to wind
up black and [C]blue
[F]Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
[C]Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
And [F]that's my very be[G]st advice to [C]you"

[Interlude 1]

[D][G]

[Verse 5]
[G]Darling though you're twice my size
[C]I don't mean to patronize
[G]Honey let me lead you by the [C]hand
Find [G]a lap or find a chair
[C]You can park it anywhere
[F]Just don't rest your cheeks
[G]against my man[C]

[Verse 6]
I said [F]"Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
[C]Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
[G]They don't mend with
sticky tape and [C]glue
[F]Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
[C]Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
And [F]that's my very be[G]st advice to you"
[C]

[Verse 7]
[G]No shindig is half complete
[C]Without that famous polka beat
[G]That's why they invite me,
I sup[C]pose
[G]Waltzes, strathspeys, eights, some reels
[C]Now you know how good it feels
[F]Crank that handle [G]babe, away she goes
[C]

[Verse 8]
I said [F]"Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
[C]Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
Un[G]less you want to wind
up black and [C]blue"
I said [F]"Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
[C]Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
[F]That's my very be[G]st advice to [C]you"
