The Ballad of Flying Jimmy

Jimmy D., Jimmy D.,

Swung upon a swing so high;

Jimmy D., Jimmy D.,

Thought he could touch the sky.

He swung so high, in fact, one day

He flew out of his swing.

Over the field and lake he flew,

Jimmy sprouted wings!

He said hello to bees and birds;

He looked down on the people.

They walked out of the church and saw him

Twirl around the steeple.

He latched onto an airplane

And went for quite a ride;

He crossed the earth and landed

On the other side

Where flying people were common;

They thought nothing of him.

Soon Jimmy grew tired of flying

(And people calling him “Jim.”)

So back across the earth he flew

And all the way to bed

Where Jimmy woke up knowing

He flew only in his head.
