"Spring-Heeled Jim" lyrics

"Spring-Heeled Jim"

Spring-heeled Jim winks an eye
He'll "do", he'll never be "done to"
He takes on whoever flew through
"Well, it's the normal thing to do"

Spring-heeled Jim lives to love
Now kissing with his mouth full
And his eyes on some other fool
So many women, his head should be spinning

Ah, but no
Ah, but no
But no
Ah, no

Spring-heeled Jim slurs the words
"There's no need to be so knowing
Take life at five times your average speed
Like I do"

Until Jim feels the chill, "Oh, where did all the time go?"
Once always in for the kill
Now it's too cold
And he feels too old
