This is about somebody that was so bad, you would wish something that you wouldn’t wish on anybody. It was talking about how, it really talks about how justice rarely is served in this world. In this one particular situation justice was served and it was a time of celebration. – Mark Mothersbaugh
(Spoken)
Mark: Well, I kinda feel sorry for Jimmy
Jerry: Yeah, but you don't know the whole story he wasn't a nice guy
Mark: Whaddya mean?
Jerry: Let me tell ya
Jimmy's in a wheel chair
And I don't care
Jimmy's in a wheel chair
And I don't care
Jimmy's in a wheel chair
And I don't care
Jimmy's in a wheel chair
He used to walk his dog
And then he'd beat him good
Like his pretty wife
And now they're up and gone
And Jimmy's in a wheel chair
And I don't care
Jimmy's in a wheel chair
And I don't care
Jimmy's in a wheel chair
And I don't care
Jimmy's in a wheel chair
He was the president
Of a company
He kept his workers poor
He'd lie and cheat and steal
Oh, when justice strikes
Well, every once in a while
It makes a bullseye hit
Well, every once in a while
He used to yell and scream
Until his son would cry
Then he'd run him down
Well, he don't run no more
Jimmy's in a wheel chair
And I don't care
Jimmy's in a wheel chair
And I don't care
Jimmy's in a wheel chair
And I don't care
Jimmy's in a wheel chair
He got big and fat
And he was riding high
Oh, making lots of cash
Well, trashing others' life
Well, when justice strikes
Well, every once in a while
It makes a bullseye hit
Well, every once in a while
Jimmy's in a wheel chair
And I don't care (Lord, he had it coming)
Jimmy's in a wheel chair
And I don't care (Lord, he's crying in his beer)
Jimmy's in a wheel chair
And I don't care
Jimmy's in a wheel chair
(Lord, have mercy on this man )
