Lyrics
Jimmy Rose he went to town,
Jimmy Rose he went to town,
Jimmy Rose he went to town
To ‘commodate the ladies
This is a great one for improvising lyrics.
Adapt it to fit your needs – and encourage students to do the same. Tell them to sing it when they go home and let you know what words they used… for instance:
“It is time to go to sleep… because my mommy said so!”
