Lyrics

Jimmy mcgregor, hey, jimmy, come here!
Jimmy you son of a gun!
What 'cha been doin'? how long has it been?
Hell, seven years if it's been one

How's the preacher? how's don, did he go back to school?
(No kidding, I thought he was gay!)
Who me? oh, I'm great! I'm a father you know
Yeah, two of 'em and one on the way

Oh, well, she couldn't make it, she gets pretty tired
She started her last month today
I only came up for a couple of minutes
Believe me, I wish I could stay

Oh, and yeah while I think of it, do you remember
Not for myself, for a friend
A girl that I brought here, before I got married
A couple of times at the end

Whatshername? she hardly knew me;
Now her name means something to me
I wonder if she ever got over me?

Anyway I should be flattered
For yesterday at least I mattered
Where did it go?

Jimmy I tell you we're two lucky guys
You've got everything that you've planned
And all things considered I've done fairly well
I mean god's honest truth, man
I love ruth and whatshername?

I thought I knew her, whatshername?
What happened to her
I don't know why I'll never forget
Whatshername?
