Away out a West
whey dey rais a da prune,
a great big a man
he run a da farm;
An' he push a da plow
an' he hum a da tune,
an' he do a no a body da harm.
But a man from da East
come a long wid da mon,
an' he talk a to him
about da stage;
Den he pack a da grip,
an' he take a da trip,
an' now a he a great a big a rage.

Who's dat man wid a hand
like da bunch a banan!
It's da JimadaJeff,
Oh! da JimadaJeff,
from da West wid a chest
like da brudder Sylvest,
It's da JimadaJeff,
Oh! da JimadaJeff,
Who take all da man a
dat a put on da mitts?
Who take a da Corbett,
da Sharkey, da Fitz?
Who make a dem all look a
like a two bits?
It's da JimadaJeff,
Oh! you JimadaJeff.

Who's dat man wid a hand
like da bunch a banan!
It's da JimadaJeff,
Oh! da JimadaJeff,
from da West wid a chest
like da brudder Sylvest,
It's da JimadaJeff,
Oh! da JimadaJeff,
Who give a da Jack Jonce
one a little a tap?
Who make a him take a
one big a long nap?
Who wipe a da Africa
off a da map?
It's da JimadaJeff,
Oh! you JimadaJeff,

The man have a wife,
she da pride of his life,
She a one a very little a gal;
An' she say a to him:
"Now a look a here, Jim,
You a do a just a what a I tell.
You commence right away
to get into condish,
an' you punch a da bag a day and night;
an' a den pretty soon,
when you meet a da coon,
you knock a him a clear a out a sight."

Who's dat man wid a hand
like da bunch a banan!
It's da JimadaJeff,
Oh! da JimadaJeff,
from da West wid a chest
like da brudder Sylvest,
It's da JimadaJeff,
Oh! da JimadaJeff,
Who take all da man a
dat a put on da mitts?
Who take a da Corbett,
da Sharkey, da Fitz?
Who make a dem all look a
like a two bits?
It's da JimadaJeff,
Oh! you JimadaJeff.

Who's dat man wid a hand
like da bunch a banan!
It's da JimadaJeff,
Oh! da JimadaJeff,
from da West wid a chest
like da brudder Sylvest,
It's da JimadaJeff,
Oh! da JimadaJeff,
Who give a da Jack Jonce
one a little a tap?
Who make a him take a
one big a long nap?
Who wipe a da Africa
off a da map?
It's da JimadaJeff,
Oh! you JimadaJeff.
