Tori Amos
Toodles Mr. Jim
[Intro]
Hey yes
I said, yes
I said, hurray yay yay yippy yay
I said, diddly hey and

[Verse 1]
"Toodles Mr. Jim you cherry picker
Toodles," I say, "So long
Hear that your grave's a little warm, you stickler
Sing them all your happy song"

[Bridge]
It's today, today
Sunday by your grave

[Verse 2]
I say "Toodles Mr. Jim, you cherry picker
Taught me so well
How to spell those red in...
And... and... hey...

[Verse 3]
You know she deserved that nose
Splattered and swattered blood in my hands
Not a nice day for your little girl
But you came to my aid instead"
[Verse 4]
But now it's "Toodles, Mr. Jim, you cherry picker
Build that ladder well
Teach me just where those boys can climb
When they've got a spell"

[Verse 5]
Toodles Mr Jim, you are my sweet favourite neighbour
Of them all of them
Girls go to their parties
I don't care 'cause I'm with you still"

[Outro]
"That was Toodles Mr. Jim
Mr. Jim died two weeks ago
And he taught me how to pick cherries
And I punched his daughter in the nose because she was mean
Mr. Jim was good"
