JIM JAMS AND HIS JABABOUT

Jim Jams he was a wise one

And he lived in Cherry Lane;

'Twas an awful place to get to

And a worse place to remain.

So to take his wife and fam'ly

To the village which was far

He saved his hard earned dollars

And bought a motor car.



One day as he was driving

Down the long hill by the wall

The car it gave a plunge ahead

And wouldn't stop at all.

He pushed hard on his service brake

And pulled the lever back;

But the darn thing kept a-flying

Till it reached a railroad track.


The four o'clock express was due

And round the bend it whirled,

And it took Jim Jams and family

To a better — fairer world.

Thus died poor Jim and in his fate

One fact, it will arrest us,

How needless, if he'd lined his brakes

With good old MULTIBESTOS.
