BIG TALKIN’ JIM
(Dave Burgess)

The Blossoms (Feat. Darlene Love)


I wanna tell you a story ‘bout a-Big Talkin’ Jim
He’s got a dozen girls always chasin’ him
He just can’t seem to remember their names
At least that’s what he claims
 
(Big Talkin’ Jim) He's a-tellin’ lies
(Big Talkin’ Jim) Braggin' to the skies
(Big Talkin’ Jim) He's riding for a fall
(Big Talkin’ Jim) He’s a phony, that’s all
 
He's got a big smile from ear to ear
He's really got a line for all the girls to hear
It don't take long to get a-wise to him
He's just a big bag o' wind
 
(Big Talkin’ Jim) He's a-tellin’ lies
(Big Talkin’ Jim) Braggin' to the skies
(Big Talkin’ Jim) He's riding for a fall
(Big Talkin’ Jim) He’s a phony, that’s all
 
(Instrumental Break)
 
Oh well, he tries so hard to be the life o' the crowd
You can't help but see him, 'cause he talks so loud
He wears clothes that are much too bright
He's a fake, he's a slob, he's a sight
 
(Big Talkin’ Jim) He's a-tellin’ lies
(Big Talkin’ Jim) Braggin' to the skies
(Big Talkin’ Jim) He's riding for a fall
(Big Talkin’ Jim) He’s a phony, that’s all
 
(Big Talkin’ Jim) He's a-tellin’ lies
(Big Talkin’ Jim) Braggin' to the skies
(Big Talkin’ Jim) He's riding for a fall
(Big Talkin’ Jim) He’s a phony, that’s all
 
(Big Talkin’ Jim) He's a-tellin’ lies
(Big Talkin’ Jim) Braggin' to the skies
(Big Talkin’ Jim) He's riding for a fall.........FADE
