Lyrics
Jimmy Wilson had a glass eye, I could see it
And stuttered sometimes
And he needed a girl friend night times
Didn’t know how to go about it
Poor Jimmy Wilson, poor Jimmy Wilson

All the boys used to tease him, I know I did it
And he was my friend.
At school we were always close together
Hardly a day I didn’t see him
Poor Jimmy Wilson, poor Jimmy Wilson

He used to go out for walks on his own
With no one to talk to at all.
He’d walk in the park till the evening grew dark,
Just feeling quite incredibly small.

He was sitting in the park one Sunday evening
Around about five
When along came a lady, a total stranger
Wanted young Jimmy to go with her
Poor Jimmy Wilson, poor Jimmy Wilson

Well she was so persuasive and seemed quite friendly
So he went along
And the lady who was lonely gave him tea
And she was his friend for ever after
Poor Jimmy Wilson, poor Jimmy Wilson.
