You've Got a Friend in Jimbo Songtext
von Reverend Horton Heat

Whenever you are lonesome and it′s late at night
And everyone around you is a little uptight
Whenever you need, you need a little lift
Jimbo is the man, the man with the gift

When murky water stands in your above ground pool
And some evil thing is living in your barn
When it's 4 a.m. and you′re all alone
And no one really gives a golly gosh darn

When the devil makes you look at those evil red lips
And you wish they were kissin' on you
Remember that you have got a friend
And he's got a friend in you

Can I get a hallelu?
(Hallelujah!)


You′ve got a friend in Jimbo
You′ve got a friend in him
The biblical name for him is James
The nickname for James is Jim
Oh! The nickname for Jim is Jimbo
What very very special things he'll do
Yeah you′ve got a friend in Jimbo
If he's got a friend in you

What a special friend he′s been to you
Your trailer is, is double wide
You'll always have plenty of soup from the can
With Jimbo by your side

And when you walk into the darkness
With Jimbo, beer in hand
He′ll lead you like a little lamb
To deer park Texas land

Oh! You've got a friend in Jimbo
You've got a friend in him
The biblical name for him is James
The nickname for James is Jim
Oh! The nickname for Jim is Jimbo
What very very special things he′ll do
Yeah you′ve got a friend in Jimbo
If he's got a friend in you


Oh! You′ve got a friend in Jimbo
You've got a friend for life
You′ve got a shoulder to cry on
If you've just lost your boyfriend or your wife

So! You′ve got a friend in Jimbo
And he's got a friendly beer to lend
When troubles just won't end and you′ve been forced to bend
You maybe been like you′re in limbo
But you've got a friend in Jimbo
Maybe been like you′re in limbo
But you've got a friend in Jimbo
Maybe been like you′re in limbo
But you've got a friend in Jimbo
Maybe been like you′re in limbo
But you've got a friend in Jimbo
Stop!

Hold on just one second
Don't get caught in the devil′s run around
Cuz it just goes and it goes and it goes and it goes
Hey! Look up there
There′s a light shining down from above
And it's saying something
Do you know what it says?
(What does it say?)

It says you, you need
You need you need you need you need, you need
A special friend, until the end
It says you need you need you need you need a friend
Until the end, a special friend
It says you need, you need a friend
Until the end
You need you need you need you need a friend
You need a friend, until the end
You need you need you need you need
You need you need you need you need
You need you need you need you need
You need you need you need you need
Stop!

You′ve got a friend in Jimbo
You've got a friend in him
The biblical name for him is James
The nickname for James is Jim
Oh! The nickname for Jim is Jimbo
And he′s your very very special friend
Yeah you've got a friend in Jimbo
And he′s got a beer to lend
A friend
