Lyrics

[Verse 1] Jimmy came from Carolina Wants to know a way to earn a dollar Says he's suffering with a fever Just like Sister Ray says [Chorus] Oh, I'm searching for my mainline Oh, I couldn't hit it sideways Oh, I'm searching for my mainline Oh, I couldn't hit it sideways [Bridge] Jimmy's got a new piece Lying cold for a quarter hour Took it out of his suitcase Shot him dead right on the floor Hey, man, you shouldn't do that Don't you know you'll stain the carpet? Hey, man, you shouldn't do that Just like Sister Ray says [Verse 2] Too busy sucking on a ding-dong Hey, don't you know you'll stain the carpet? Too busy sucking on my ding-dong Hey, you know you shouldn't do that [Chorus] Oh, I'm searching for my mainline Oh, I couldn't hit it sideways Oh, I'm searching for my mainline Going to count one, two, three, four [Verse 3] Jimmy came from Carolina Wants to know a way to earn a dollar Says he didn't like the weather It was just like Sister Ray said [Chorus] Hit on it Jim, hit on it Jim, hit on it Jim, hit on it Jim-Jim Hit on it Jim, hit on it Jim, hit on it Jim, hit on it Jim-Jim Hit on it Jim, hit on it Jim, hit on it Jim, hit on it Jim-Jim [Refrain] Had a good night, had a good night Had a good night, had a good night Had a good night, had a good night Had a good night, had a good night [Bridge] Jimmy's got a new piece Cold hearted for the fingering Took it out in front of him Shot him dead right on the floor Hey, man, you shouldn't do that Hey, don't you know you'll stain the carpet? Hey, man, you shouldn't do that Don't you know you'll stain the carpet? It's just like Sister Ray said Just like Sister Ray said [Refrain] Had a good night, had a good night Had a good night, had a good night Had a good night, had a good night Had a good night, had a good night Had a good night, had a good night, had a good night Had a good night, had a good night Had a good night, had a good night Had a good night, had a good night Had a good night, had a good night Had a good night, good night, good night Good night, good night Had a good night Good night [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Had a good night, had a good night Had a good night, had a good night Had a good night, a good night Had a good night, had a good night Had a good night, had a good night Just like Sister Ray said Just like Sister Ray said [Spoken] Thank you, good night!
