What About Ole Jimmy

What About Ole Jimmy?

These is strange days
confusin' days
days like I ain't seen in many a year

The sun is shinin'
The stadium's empty
i should be walkin' those stairs

32 years I've been sellin' beers
Old Style in plastic cups
Listen' as the fans cheers

Right about now, 7th innin'
I'd be yellin' "Last Call"
"Ice Cold Old Style"

Two innin's ago
I'd been complainin' about the weight
25 pound albatross around my neck

My knees would be throbbin'
a cut or two on my fingers
them can lips is sharp

I ain't never been a rich man
sellin' beers has been my career
Blackhawks, Bulls, Bears and Cubs

Haven't set foot in Wrigley this year
Games ain't bein' played
Some virus got people in fear

Read the news today
All the players gettin' their money
I'm thinkin' "What about ole Jimmy?"

Findin' myself in the unemployment line
first time in my whole life
beggin' for the government dime

Always made it on my own
Like I said, not a rich man
but i managed to get by

Raised my kids on sports and Old Style
two boys and a girl
all been to college

Have a modest little house
a fine wife
an average man's life

But these is strange days
confusin' days
days like i ain't never seen

Read the news today
Some sayin' the season may be lost
They tryin' to figure out the cost

I'm sittin' here thinkin'
money in my bank account dwindlin'
What about ole Jimmy?
