Jimmy Darren from Mortal Enemies by David Nagler

Jimmy Darren
You're my finest vanity endeavor
Contrary to what
you may have heard from your mother
You've got my eyes
You've got my eyes
And you'll always have my eyes

Jimmy Darren
She wasn't always so insane
Every now and then
I'll even stroll down memory lane
You've got her smile
You've got her smile
And you'll always have her smile

And when you grow up
you won't be just another no one
You'll be strong as a wrestler
and tall as a mountain
Good friends, good times
and good fortune
Will shoot up towards you
just like a fountain
And you'll make me proud
You'll make me proud

Jimmy Darren
One day I'll take you to Europe
As soon as
You've got your boots in the stirrups
You've got my name
You've got my name
And you can always have my name

And when you grow up
You won't be just another no one
You'll be sharp as a switchblade
and cool as the ocean
And if you keep your head up
and always stay in motion
You'll make me proud
You'll make me proud
