about

Another song that started by just a few words. The first line of chorus was actually randomly sung by a friend of ours in the car one day long long before the song came about.

Much later when T3 was down to Robert and Nick, this was the first song written in an actual band capacity, IE not having a guitar sitting on their lap and banging on trashcans like all of Hairy Frog was. It like most of the songs on this album went through a few changes and each member that came on board gave a different stamp of sound onto it that causes Jimmy to continue to grow even now with the addition of keyboards on the track as heard on our ST EP. Originally our closer song throughout all of 08', in 09' it moved to generally the middle of our set to kick up the energy again.

lyrics

Jimmy doesn’t get cookies cuz he’s been bad
Now he’s grounded to his room and he feels sad
Jimmy’s daddy is downstairs and he’s real mad
Because Jimmy’s normally been a real good lad

Jimmy was a boy he was just sixteen
Jimmy was always friendly and never mean
Till one day he met a girl he thought was keen
Sarah was her name and she’s a real drama queen

Sarah was a girl who just would not shut up
And more often than not she was quite stuck up
Jimmy never saw these traits he was in love
He only saw her as something from above

Sarah was off flirting with this guy named Mitch
The very sight of it really made Jimmy itch
Sarah’s voice began to make Jimmy twitch
Now he’s realizing that Sarah’s one huge TOASTY!
