[She:] Peter Stuyvesant came from Holland
and ruled Manhattan a while.
Then the bally old Duke of York
Took the jolly old Isle!
But today the town is owned by
quite a different sort.
She's just a slip of a Tomboy kid,
And they call her Jimmie for short.

Jimmie, just Jimmie.
She's a chip of old New York.
Vagrant and whimmy,
A dear little bluffin' Ragamuffin.
One smile from Jimmie
And a host of glooms depart
There's a Paradise
in those laughing eyes of
Jimmie, Just Jimmie
She'll haunt your heart.

Jimmie, just Jimmie.
She's a chip of old New York.
Vagrant and whimmy,
A dear little bluffin' Ragamuffin.
One smile from Jimmie
And a host of glooms depart
There's a Paradise
in those laughing eyes of
Jimmie, Just Jimmie
She'll haunt your heart.

[He:] I have tried to think of other things,
Some diversion to find.
But I'm sorry I must confess
I've a singletracked mind.
My poor heart a hopeless prisoner.
That will never be free,
The smiling face of a Tomboy kid,
is all I ever can see.

Jimmie, just Jimmie.
She's a chip of old New York.
Vagrant and whimmy,
A dear little bluffin' Ragamuffin.
One smile from Jimmie
And a host of glooms depart
There's a Paradise
in those laughing eyes of
Jimmie, Just Jimmie
She'll haunt your heart.

Jimmie, just Jimmie.
She's a chip of old New York.
Vagrant and whimmy,
A dear little bluffin' Ragamuffin.
One smile from Jimmie
And a host of glooms depart
There's a Paradise
in those laughing eyes of
Jimmie, Just Jimmie
She'll haunt your heart.
