DOG NAMED JIM
(Lyrics by Richard Pryor)


I once had a dog and his name was Jim
And he went around the house hiding things.
He hid my old brown shoe and he hid it well
And where he put it I could not tell.

Oh no... Jim you shouldn't hide these things you know.

Well Jim got mad and he ran away,
He ran from the house one dark day.
He hid in an old brown shack, it hid him well
And where he went I could not tell.

Oh no... Jim you shouldn't hide away you know.

Jim, don't leave me alone...
Don't leave from your home...
Where's your bone?

I had a little dog and his name was Jim
And I never found out what happened to him.
Maybe he's buried in an old brown box
But what I want to know is where's my socks?

Jim you shouldn't hide these things you know...
