Firing of Jimmy

Lyrics

[JIMMY] Hey ya, guys, did ya like my show? [CURTIS, spoken] That's it, brother, you gotta go. [JIMMY] Gotta go? Gotta go? Where I gotta go? [CURTIS] I warned you, Jimmy, you're bringin' us down I'm not havin' that kind of behavior around [JIMMY] Oh, Curtis, my man, I was kiddin' around It was an accident when my pants came down [CURTIS] Save the excuse, it's much too late You've been actin' wild for the last four dates [JIMMY] Man, I gotta do somethin' to wake 'em up I like Johnny Mathis, I can't do that stuff [CURTIS] That's because, Jimmy, you don't trust the music And that's because, Jimmy, you don't trust the words [JIMMY] Yeah, you're right, Curtis That stuff's for the birds! [LORRELL] Jimmy was doin' just what he felt And Jimmy just felt like dropping his belt [JIMMY] Tell why, Lorrell Tell why, Lorrell [LORRELL] Ever sincе we been on this tour You keep changin' on Jimmy You make him insecurе You put him in tails You make his act cool Every time he fails You call him a fool Of course he's confused It don't take a whiz To know that only a desperate man Would drop his pants in showbiz [JIMMY] Thank you, Lorrell, baby You, you told it like it is! [CURTIS] Brother, my man, we're through [JIMMY] Whatcha mean, whatcha mean we're through? [CURTIS] You're ruining the image I'm trying to set You just wanna get as low as you can get [JIMMY] Now, wait a minute, Curtis I was just being Jimmy You knew what Jimmy was When you first saw Jimmy [CURTIS, spoken] You don't understand, Jimmy! Your time has passed! There are two different worlds, not pop versus soul; class versus crass. [JIMMY] I got soul, man You can't kill a man with soul [CURTIS, spoken] Come on, brother. Let's try to end as friends, huh? Love you, baby. Nothing personal. Come on, Lorrell. [JIMMY, spoken] Wait a minute, baby. You're not going too? Baby, I love you! [LORRELL] (sung) And Lorrell loves Jimmy Lorrell loves Jimmy Lorrell loves Jimmy, it's true But Lorrell and Jimmy are through (spoken) I got a show to do, baby Remember? (sung) Oh, baby, I got a show to do [C​H​O​R​U​S] Showbiz It's just showbiz
