Jimmy Carew

This is the story of poor old Jimmy Carew,
He worked for the brewery and drank special brew.
Jimmy drove the horse and trap with a twinkle in his eye
Loaded with beer – its destination: ‘The Golden Butterfly’.
	
Poor old Jimmy, his life was rather rough
Poor old Jimmy, got his girlfriend up the duff.
Her dad weren’t too thrilled, so Jimmy got killed
Down in the cellar – enough was enough.

It was in the pub that he met young Nancy,
The landlord’s daughter who rather took his fancy.
Nancy was shy but Jimmy asked her on a date
She said yes and her dad told him not to be too late.

Poor old Jimmy, his life was rather rough
Poor old Jimmy, got his girlfriend up the duff.
Her dad weren’t too thrilled, so Jimmy got killed
Down in the cellar – enough was enough.

So the day arrived and Nancy dressed her best
As for Jimmy he wore his new shirt over his lucky vest.
He proceeded to take her round the back of the Holy Trinity
Complimented her femininity then the scoundrel took her virginity.

Poor old Jimmy, his life was rather rough
Poor old Jimmy, got his girlfriend up the duff.
Her dad weren’t too thrilled, so Jimmy got killed
Down in the cellar – enough was enough.

Jimmy really was a player, and almost everyone knew
Apart from Nancy, who didn’t know what to do.
However, Jimmy didn’t expect her to be ‘in the family way’
And when her dad found out, poor Jimmy had to pay.

Poor old Jimmy, his life was rather rough
Poor old Jimmy, got his girlfriend up the duff.
Her dad weren’t too thrilled, so Jimmy got killed
Down in the cellar – enough was enough.

Next time Jimmy delivered at the golden butterfly,
Nancy’s father had decided – Jimmy Carew had to die.
And so a murder occurred down in the cellar at half past one
Her father now in jail, Nancy left to raise a bastard son.

Poor young Nancy, her life is really tough
Poor young Nancy, she’s really suffered enough.
Her dad got mad, and did something really bad
All because of Jimmy Carew  - he got her up the duff.

Thanks again Jan - this started as a song - It's going to be part of another book I want to do in future - where it's a song kids sing the chorus on the schoolyard. I've so many ideas for stories and poems but so little time lol. I must start reading yours also when I get a chance as you are so prolific xx thanks always for inspiring me to keep writing x 'Paige'
