lyrics

Jimmy runs fast like a racehorse running
Jimmy runs fast like a racehorse running
Jimmy runs fast like a racehorse running
He’s running home

Running past the bus, running past the car
Running past that cyclist that’s gone too far
He’s a running faster than a quick train
He’s running home

Cause he can, cause he can
Cause he can, cause he can
Cause he can, oh he will do so
Cause he can, cause he can
He’ll run all the way home

He screams “I run fast like a racehorse running!”
He screams “I run fast like a racehorse running!”
Well he screams “I run fast like a racehorse running!”
He’s running home

He kicks off his shoes, and he kicks off his socks,
Runs so quick and fast so fast he doesn’t stop,
He’s a running faster than a jet plane,
He’s running home

Cause he can, cause he can
Cause he can, cause he can
Cause he can, oh he will do so
Cause he can, cause he can
He’ll run all the way home

Running on water, running on steam
Running on glass, broke beneath his feet
Running on air, running in the sky
Jimmy comes home leaving fire in his wake

“I’m Running home!
“School leave me ‘lone,
“I’m quitting track,
“And I’m never coming back!”

That’s what he said to his mom and he said to his pop
But they didn’t believe an ounce of his story so he ran
But he stopped after ten minutes at the store
To get some water from the dispenser
The reverse osmosis dispenser
Dispenser osmosis reversal
