intro: instrumental music: verse #1: Down on Oak Street there was a place where we all would go It was funky, old and unclean But it was the focus of the local music scene (in the city) verse #2: The place was called Jimmy's it was a bar and a music club. All the local bands would beg to play inside its hub. The power was ungrounded, the amps all buzzed the Green Room was dirty and stunk of hard love Chorus: The place was Jimmy's Music Club It was not what bands were used to Bands were treated like an ashtray To perform in his club, we had to pay (for his P A ) ($500 a day) !!! He always skimmed from the door It all seemed so shady from the get go Jimmy was not an honest Joe Bands would never see the money flow.. ...and when you'd get back to your car, it would sometimes get towed. ! (oh no let's go !) solo: instrumental music: bridge: The local news stations all seem to rave over him I'm talkin' bout' Jimmy Anselmo was his surname. Uptown was the place to visit him He always played the game, he would never know your name (why is local fame?) Chorus: The place was Jimmy's Music Club It was not what bands were used to Bands were treated like an ashtray To perform in his club, we had to pay (for his P A ) ($500 a day) !!! He always skimmed from the door It all seemed so shady from the get go Jimmy was not an honest Joe Bands would never see the money flow.. ...and when you'd get back to your car, it would sometimes get towed. ! (oh no let's go !) outro: the place was a rat hole but it was the venue to go you could always hear "The Cold" but all the other bands, our money he stole... at Jimmy's Music Club Jimmy's music Club at Jimmy's Music Club Jimmy's music Club
