jimmy rogers was a very skinny man
i thought i was skinny 'til i saw how skinny
jimmy rogers was
jimmy rogers was a very skinny man
you think i'm skinny
well jimmy he was skinnier than i am

there is a museum in meridian mississippi
where you can see for yourselves
jimmy's skinny little jackets and skinny little pants
displayed on skinny little shelves

jimmy rogers was a very skinny man
you think I'm skinny
well jimmy he was skinnier than i am

he is a giant of country music
but he was short
you can see from the photo
on the cd that i bought

that jimmy rogers was a very skinny man
i thought i was skinny 'til i saw how skinny
jimmy rogers was
jimmy rogers was a very skinny man
you think I'm skinny
well jimmy he was skinnier than i am

if you go to graceland
and you pay to get in
you'll notice all the king's jumpsuits
have been taken in
to fit these skinny looking
elvis mannequins
'cause they want you to think
that Elvis was thin

but jimmy rogers really was a very skinny man
i would not lie to you
jimmy rogers was a very very skinny man
you think I'm skinny
well jimmy he was skinny too
you think I'm skinny
well so was jimmy rogers
