GJimmy Bean was a funny lookin' fellah If he had another mouth he'd Alook much sweller But the "race" queered him from winning a beauty Dshow GIt was like a steamboat funnel Or a railway arch or the ABlackwall Tunnel When you can't see Jim when he opens his mouth you'll Dknow DAnd as poor Jim goes walkin' about DYou can hear the kids all 'ollerin' D7out
Chorus
What a Gmouth what a mouth what a north and south Blimey what a Dmouth he's Ggot Now when Ahe was a baby well oh Gawd luv 'er His poor old muvver used to Dfeed him with a shovel What a Ggap poor chap he's never been known to Dlaugh GIf he Ddid it's a Cpenny to a Gquid that his Cface would Dfall in G'alf
G D C G G D G Verse 2
GMouth so large oh Lord oh lummey He can whisper in his own ear Aain't it funny And to quench his thirst now he's gotta take a drink o' Dmine He Ggot so drunk one foggy morn He lay in the road and Astarted to yawn And a poor old man was delivering coals close Dby DAnd as he went to shoot the load DHe saw Jim's mouth out in the D7road

What a Gmouth what a mouth what a north and south Blimey what a Dmouth he's Ggot Now the Apoor old man bein' a short sighted fellah When he saw Jim's mouth he Dtook it for the cellar And he Gshot the lot right into his mouth no Djoke GJim poor Dsoul's got a Ctummy full of Gcoal and he C'corfs' up Dlumps of Gcoke
