lyrics

The dumb dum song

When you’ve painted yourself in a corner
Do you ask yourself why?
If you’re standing in the pouring rain and you predicted sun
Just put on your sunglasses and sing the dumb dum song

Dumb de dum
Dumb de dum
Dumb de dum
Dumb de dum

You can’t stop yourself growing older
No matter how hard you try
If you wake up at a party and your friends are all gone
Just pour yourself another drink and sing the dumb dum song

Dumb de dum
Dumb de dum
Dumb de dum
Dumb de dum

If your life hasn’t turned out the way you had planned
And people use words that you don’t understand
If you don’t want to join you just want to belong
Well this is your song

Dumb de dum
Dumb de dum
Dumb de dum
Dumb de dum

When you’ve painted yourself in a corner
Do you ask yourself why?
If you know your destination but the journey’s too long
You can make yourself feel better when you sing the dumb dum song

Jim's songs range from the whimsical to some of the most bitter and somber themes, yet always with a paradoxical childlike spirit that meets them head-on – wide-eyed and full of hopeful energy.
