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!”
