[Intro]
F G C C

[Verse 1]
G C
When the party hit full swing I saw you come reeling in
G C
You had that six-pack in a stranglehold
G C
Now you stagger, now you sway why don't you fall the other way
F G C C7
Cause I've got something here worth more than gold

[Chorus]
F C
I said "Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands, don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
G C C7
They don't mend with sticky tape and glue
F C
Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
F G C
And that's my very best advice to you"

[Verse 2]
G C
Call me precious, I don't mind 78s are hard to find
G C
You just can't get the shellac since the war
G C
This one's the Beltona brand, finest label in the land
F G C C7
They don't make them like that anymore

[Chorus]
F C
I said "Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands, don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
G C C7
Unless you want to wind up black and blue
F C
Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands, Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
F G C
And that's my very best advice to you"

[Solo]
G C D G X2

[Verse 3]
G C
Darling though you're twice my size, I don't mean to patronize
G C
Honey let me lead you by the hand
G C
Find a lap or find a chair, you can park it anywhere
F G C C7
Just don't rest your cheeks against my man

[Chorus]
F C
I said "Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands, don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
G C C7
They don't mend with sticky tape and glue
F C
Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
