lyrics

Lyrics:
You'd have heard I'm the most
I came a long long way here from another coast
But I got into a bit of a jam with a man named Jim
He's big; he's a beast
Everyone here likes him the least
But he's huge and he's tough and he's strong
So I guess I'm asking
Do you mess around with Jim? (Do you?)

Roll a die, turn a card
Pick up a cue ball and hit it real hard
You may find when you reel in a fish
You weren't even casting
In fights, I know the game
I've been a little bit everywhere
With everything the same
But there are some beef you don't want to start
And that's why I'm asking
Do you mess around with Jim? (Do you?)
