The Ballard of Jack and Jim

Lyrics by: Lester Tucker

(This song was written for my nephew who is the drummer in the band "Capgun Alliance")


The party's getting started
most my friends are here
There's Bud, Miller, and Samuel
what's a party without beer
But they are just the young guns
of this I have no doubt
The party won't get rocking
til the big boys are brought out
Now let me introduce you
to more friends of mine
There's Jack and George and Jim of course
and now it's party time

Chorus:
The devil's in the kitchen
setting hors douevres on fire
Jack Daniel's just a waiting
to quench your thirst's desire
George Dickle's on the table
better keep your eye on him
No telling what will happen
if he teams up with Jim
Now old Jim is just a beaming
cause his been watching Jack
They all are close to empty
and there's no coming back.

The party is a cooking
there's some swaying going on
Capgun Alliance is rocking
But my three friends are gone
Now thinking it's all over
and the band will soon pack up
I settle for some miller time
but a stranger interrupts
He says son you know you can't do that
Now put that cold one back
Reaches in his jacket
and pulls out my ole friend Jack

Chorus:
The devil's in the kitchen
setting hors douevres on fire
Jack Daniel's just a waiting
to quench your thirst's desire
George Dickle's on the table
better keep your eye on him
No telling what will happen
if he teams up with Jim
Now old Jim is just a beaming
cause his been watching Jack
They all are close to empty
and there's no coming back.
