Oh Jimmy!!!

Now There's A Nose!



You were our Ragtime Jimmy
Singin’ Inka Dinka Doo
We looked right past that nose 
Saw the real you

Generous ~ oh so funny
With your Cyrano-size nose
You called it your ‘Schnozzola’
Ready to strike a pose

Knew how to butcher English
Italian to the core
Vaudeville was your stomping ground
Left us wanting more

TV kept you busy
A bright and shining star
Your sign-off phrase a great one 
"Good night, Ms. Calabash, wherever you are"
