Growing up, Toledo, Ohio
1739 Freeman Street
James Francis, fifth in the family
December 2nd 1936
You and your cousins acting like children, not a care in the world, playing ball in street
Taking your bike, riding from Jay Zoo
you should've been walking
you got thrown from your seat
[Chorus]
Sing, Jimmy, sing and the world will dance around you
Sing, Jimmy, sing; it makes them glad
Sing, Jimmy, sing and the world will dance around you
Sing, Jimmy, sing; that's my Dad
One month a summer
You'd get the cottage
spend time with the family at Luna Pier Beach
Aunt Olive, Uncle Otto, Grandma and Grandpa, Clovis and Meel
[Chorus]
Who would have thought
In Toledo, Ohio
that's where it started that brought us today
Sixty years later, the same things happening,
we are that family, but in different ways
[Chorus}
