Jimmie The Cricket
Little Jimmie Cricket is hidden in the rug------------ {Chorus
He sleeps all day, cozy and snug
He starts chirping when all is quiet
Continues merrily all through the night
I turn on the lights he isn’t there
I can’t find Jimmie anywhere
He’s elusive as he can be
In the rug he hides cleverly
Soon I hear his mating call
It ‘bout drives me up the wall
His friends soon start chiming
They stop when the lights come on again
Little Jimmie Cricket is hidden in the rug------------ {Chorus
He sleeps all day, cozy and snug
He starts chirping when all is quiet
Continues merrily all through the night
They are putting me to the test
Tomorrow I’ll get rid of these pests
It will be the day of their doom
I will spray the whole darn room
Mission accomplished, the deed is done
All is silent; I think I’ve won
No sign of Jimmie or his crew
I bid them rest in peace adieu
Little Jimmie Cricket is hidden in the rug------------ {Chorus
He sleeps all day, cozy and snug
He starts chirping when all is quiet
Continues merrily all through the night
Instrumental Break
Night has fallen; I’m ready for bed
All is quit; my clothes are shed
I’m dreaming of a peaceful night
I hear them start as I turn off the light
I’ve given up trying to outwit Jim
I have learned a lesson from him
He’s happy in life and he expresses it
So I’ll sing along with Jimmie the cricket
Little Jimmie Cricket is hidden in the rug------------ {Chorus
He sleeps all day, cozy and snug
He starts chirping when all is quiet
Continues merrily all through the night
He starts chirping when all is quiet
Continues merrily all through the night
