about

Jean Pierre
by William Wilson Whittenberg, 26.November 2012 ©2012 wilsongs

lyrics

went swimming in your bathtub
skinny dippin’ on the lyme
took the garbage to the freezer
and the groceries to the rhyme
so let me jiggle on your handle
let me rummage through your hair
cause there’s a lotta ground to cover
‘fore we get to jean pierre…

up the stairs into your bedroom
with the antique feather bed
and the quilt made by your grandma
ad the pillow for your head
out your back door there’s a garden
but you never took me there
now there’s a lotta ground to cover
‘fore we get to jean pierre…

don’t tell me ‘bout the sugar
or the salt of days gone by
don’t cry to me ‘bout mem’ries
and the ever fleeting time
cause the days are drawing dark, dove
and the end is drawing near
and there’s a lotta ground to cover
‘fore we get to jean pierre…

I could tell you that I love you
say I think you’re looking fine
I could tell you how I’m lucky
say I’m happy that you’re mine
but I’m afraid it’s getting late dear
and there’s a coldness in the air
and we’ve a lot of ground to cover
‘fore we get to jean pierre…

This song is about a place that doesn't exist. ...and how much I like for things to rhyme.
