Thtop Your Thtuttering Jimmy! 1919

Jimmy was a soldier
who stuttered like a gawk
but no one ever told us
how Katy used to talk.
Tho' she'd always listen
to ev'ry word he'd say
she never could figure out,
just what it was all about,
when she found she was in doubt
she'd lisp to him this way:

Thtop your thtuttering, Jimmy
goodneth can't you thee,
you always thtart to thtutter
when you make love to me,
Put you armth around me
thqueeth me nithe and fine,
but thtop your thtuttering Jimmy,
cauthe you're only waithting time.

Thtop your thtuttering, Jimmy
goodneth can't you thee,
you always thtart to thtutter
when you make love to me,
Put you armth around me
thqueeth me nithe and tight,
but thtop your thtuttering Jimmy,
cauthe I can't thtay here all night.

Jimmy didn't stutter much
after he left Kate,
But seemed to lose the habit
as he left the garden gate.
But when he would see her,
he'd talk the same old way,
was it something in her eye?
Was it something in her sigh?
I think it was just because
he loved to hear her say:

Thtop your thtuttering, Jimmy
goodneth can't you thee,
you always thtart to thtutter
when you make love to me,
Put you armth around me
thqueeth me nithe and fine,
but thtop your thtuttering Jimmy,
cauthe you're only waithting time.

Thtop your thtuttering, Jimmy
goodneth can't you thee,
you always thtart to thtutter
when you make love to me,
Put you armth around me
thqueeth me nithe and tight,
but thtop your thtuttering Jimmy,
cauthe I can't thtay here all night.
