MASTER RECORDING LYRICS

FONT:
Wealthy Jim had a sordid love affair, You know it cost him four and a half grand A high court judge who just wouldn’t budge, He said your crime fits in the land `Cos little Jimmy had a roving eye But he didn’t have a wooden leg Well his heart was wood He said that’s no good Or so the verdict said Lies of Jim the E-Type lover, Lies of Jim the E-Type lover Pay and then you run for cover From the lies of Jim the E-Type lover The judge he said you’ve been a wicked little man I’m gonna have to slap you down boy Now you took this little child And you drove her wild You treated her like a toy Well this I will not tolerate You’re gonna have to pay the price You’ve gotta give that lady some compensation A jaguar would suffice Wealthy Jim put his hand into his pocket What the judge drew kinda hit him like a rocket The man at the back said he thought he saw a tear Run down Jim’s cheek, settle by his ear Prosecution witness noted his distress But liked to smile across at Jimmy in a mess He didn’t care for the people in the room He thought the mans smile rubbed more salt into the wound Love is not a thing you buy, love is not a car For compensation for Lorraine Who lost her precious jaguar Thirty pieces of silver steel The pace of love behind the wheel Jim! Won’t you tell me what you’ve done It only started out as a bit of fun Will return you hungry young man To eat the flesh of a young virgin I believe in the word of the law Is justice done is all that I saw Jim would say if you wanna have a ball Beware!
