Jim Dandy Lyrics
[Intro: Ruby Starr]
It's my Jim Dandy!
[Chorus: Jim Mangrum & Ruby Starr]
(Jim Dandy to the rescue
Jim Dandy to the rescue
Jim Dandy to the rescue)
Go, Jim Dandy! Go, Jim Dandy! Okay, yeah
[Verse 1: Jim Mangrum & Ruby Starr]
I was sitting on a mountain top
30,000 feet to drop
I fled on a runaway horse
Uh-huh, that's right, of course
Jim Dandy to the rescue
Go, Jim Dandy! Go, Jim Dandy! Oh, whoa!
[Verse 2: Jim Mangrum & Ruby Starr]
One day, I met a girl named Sue
She was feelin' kinda blue
I'm Dandy, the kind of guy
Can't stand to see a little girl cry
Jim Dandy to the rescue
Go, Jim Dandy! Go, Jim Dandy! Ah, I'm comin'!
[Chorus: Ruby Starr]
(Jim Dandy to the rescue
Jim Dandy to the rescue
Jim Dandy to the rescue)
Go, Jim Dandy! Go!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3: Jim Mangrum & Ruby Starr]
I was ridin' on a submarine
Got a message from my mermaid queen
She was hangin' on a fishin' line
This Dandy didn't waste no time
Jim Dandy to the rescue
Go, Jim Dandy! Go, Jim Dandy! Whoa, wow, oh, yeah!
[Verse 4: Jim Mangrum & Ruby Starr]
Once upon a time, I went to Maine
Got a ticket on a DC plane Oh, yeah!
This Dandy didn't need no chute, No
I was high and ready to boot
Jim Dandy to the rescue
Go, Jim Dandy! Go, Jim Dandy! Whoa, c'mon!
[Chorus: Jim Mangrum & Ruby Starr]
(Jim Dandy to the rescue
Jim Dandy to the rescue
Jim Dandy to the rescue)
Go, Jim Dandy! Go, Jim Dandy! Whoa, c'mon!

(Go, go, go, Jim Dandy) Jim Dandy to the rescue
(Go, go, go, Jim Dandy) Jim Dandy to the rescue
(Go, go, go, Jim Dandy) Jim Dandy to the rescue
(Go, go, go, Jim Dandy) Jim Dandy to the rescue
(Go, go, go, Jim Dandy) Jim Dandy to the rescue
(Go, go, go, Jim Dandy) Jim Dandy to the rescue
(Go, go, go, Jim Dandy) Jim Dandy to the rescue (Go away!)
(Go, go, go, Jim Dandy) Jim Dandy to the rescue
