“I remember the music and words kind of came at the same time. Some strange images, but basically, good things and everything is “fine and dandy”, which of course, became Jim Dandy.” (Allen Finney, 2018)
Jim Dandy (dictionary) = “Something excellent of its kind.” “Humdinger, knockout, peach.”
Got my slippers on my feet
Got my feet on the floor
Got my head above the clouds
Ever and evermore.
Got my cornflakes in my bowl
Got my sweet potato
Life’s a dream inside a dream
Just like my El Dorado.
Got my book in my vest
Got my harmonica handy
Got my wonder bird in my nest
Everything’s Jim Dandy.
