Are you Jimmy, cracking corn?
There are innocuous folk songs
But we regard them with scorn
The folks who sing them have no social conscience
Why, they don’t even care if…
[hijack]Since Tom Lehrer has given up his copyright, does that mean we can quote his lyrics entirely?[/hijack]
And we have EH jumping in with his “Firstname Lastname” question already!
Yes! I am Jim (also known as Jimmy), and I do crack corn, though not many people seem to care…
I had it, you got it, EH…
DLR has two reserved DQs; SunUp has one. Please ask them all by 2300 Eastern tomorrow, Wed 24 Apr. Never mind…
That was one of those songs I learned as a kid, and always figured I’d know what “Jimmy crack corn” meant when I grew up. I just looked over on the Wiki page, and, er, nobody’s definitely sure anyway.
