Story Behind The Song
Jimmy snuck out for only about 5 to 10 minutes, but that was enough to cause panic and give me the story for the song. Hey, Slow down Jimmy!!!
Song Description
A hyper energetic 2 and a half year old boy named Jimmy somehow sneaks out of the house, runs down the block and is held by a neighbor who hands him over to the cops. Then they bring him back home much to the surprise of his family.

Lyrics
Verse 1: Slow down Jimmy, You're moving way too fast
You gotta slow down Jimmy, You're headed for trouble that's gonna last. Daddys' chasing you and your Mama says she's through
You better slow down Jimmy
Verse 2: Woh! Slow down Jimmy, You're running us all over town
You better slow down Jimmy, We're gonna track you down
Y'know the cops are onto you and the neighbors talkin' to
You gotta slow down Jimmy...Play it Jimmy ( Guitar solo )
Verse 3:Well I was standing in the kitchen,Then came a knock on the door, and when I saw it was my Jimmy, I nearly fell to the floor.
The man went on to say , that the boy had lost his way and that he would be o.k. now... but he's got to learn to slow down...slow down, he better slow down You gotta slow it down, Jimmy
Slow down...slow down, ya better slow down, we're tired of chasing you around. Get rid of that frown, You gotta slow yourself down
You have to listen to your Mama and slow...slow it on down
