They Were All Out of Step but Jim Verse: Jimmy’s mother went to see her son, marching along on parade
In his uniform and with his gun, what a lovely picture he made. She came home that ev’ning, filled up with delight
And to all the neighbors, she would yell with all her might: Refrain: “Did you see my little Jimmy marching, with the soldiers up the avenue? There was Jimmy just as stiff as starch, like his daddy on the seventeenth of March. Did you notice all the lovely ladies, casting their eyes on him? Away he went, to live in a tent
over in France with his regiment. Were you there, and tell me, did you notice? They were all out of step but Jim.” Verse: That night little Jimmy’s father stood, buying the drinks for the crowd
You could tell that he was feeling good, he was talking terribly loud. Twenty times he treated, my! But he was dry
When his glass was empty, he would treat again and cry: Refrain
