    Verse 1
    When 
    the 
    party 
    hit 
    full 
    swing 

    I 
    saw 
    you 
    come 
    reeling 
    in 

    You 
    had 
    that 
    six-pack 
    in 

    in 
    a strangle
    hold 

    Now 
    you stagger, 
    now 
    you 
    sway 

    Why 
    don't 
    you fall 
    the 
    other 
    way 

    Cause 
    I've 
    got 
    something 
    here 

    Worth 
    more 
    than 
    gold 

    Verse 2
    I said 
    "Don't 
    sit 
    on 
    my 
    Jimmy 
    Shands 

    Don't 
    sit 
    on 
    my 
    Jimmy 
    Shands 

    They 
    don't 
    mend 
    with 

    sticky 
    tape 
    and 
    glue 

    Don't 
    sit 
    on 
    my 
    Jimmy 
    Shands 

    Don't 
    sit 
    on 
    my 
    Jimmy 
    Shand
    s 

    And 
    that's 
    my 
    very 
    be

    st 
    advice 
    to 
    you" 


    Verse 3
    Call 
    me 
    precious, 
    I 
    don't 
    mind 

    78s are 
    hard 
    to 
    find 

    You 
    just 
    can't 
    get 
    the 

    shellac 
    since 
    the 
    war 

    This 
    one's 
    the 
    Beltona brand 

    Finest 
    label 
    in 
    the 
    land 

    They 
    don't 
    make 
    them 
    like 

    that 
    any
    more 

    Verse 4

    I said 
    "Don't 
    sit 
    on 
    my 
    Jimmy 
    Shands 

    Don't 
    sit 
    on 
    my 
    Jimmy 
    Shands 

    Un
    less 
    you 
    want 
    to 
    wind 

    up 
    black 
    and 
    blue 

    Don't 
    sit 
    on 
    my 
    Jimmy 
    Shands 

    Don't 
    sit 
    on 
    my 
    Jimmy 
    Shands 

    And 
    that's

    Interlude 1



    Verse 5
    Darling 
    though 
    you're 
    twice 
    my size 

    I 
    don't 
    mean 
    to 
    patronize 

    Honey 
    let 
    me 
    lead 
    you 
    by 
    the 
    hand 

    Find 
    a 
    lap 
    or 
    find 
    a chair 

    You 
    can 
    park 
    it 
    anywhere 

    Just 
    don't 
    rest 
    your cheeks 

    against 
    my 
    man 

    Verse 6
    I said 
    "Don't 
    sit 
    on 
    my 
    Jimmy 
    Shands 

    Don't 
    sit 
    on 
    my 
    Jimmy 
    Shands 

    They 
    don't 
    mend 
    with 

    sticky 
    tape 
    and 
    glue 

    Don't 
    sit

    to 
    you" 


    Verse 7
    No 
    shindig 
    is 
    half 
    complete 

    Without 
    that 
    famous 
    polka 
    beat 

    That's 
    why 
    they 
    invite 
    me, 

    I 
    sup
    pose 

    Waltzes, 
    strathspeys, 
    eights, 
    some 
    reels 

    Now 
    you 
    know 
    how 
    good 
    it 
    feels 

    Crank 
    that 
    handle 
    babe, 
    away 
    she 
    goes 

    Verse 8

    I said

    my 
    Jimmy 
    Shands 

    Don't 
    sit 
    on 
    my 
    Jimmy 
    Shands

    you 
    want 
    to 
    wind 

    up 
    black 
    and 
    blue"

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
