Spring-heeled Jim winks an eye
he'll ''do", he'll never be "done to"
he takes on whoever flew through
"well, it's the normal thing to do"

Spring-heeled Jim lives to love
now kissing with his mouth full
and his eyes on some other fool
so many women
his head should be spinning
ah, but no!

Spring-heeled Jim slurs the words:
"there's no need to be so knowing
take life at five times the
average speed, like I do"

until Jim feels the chill
"oh, where did all the time go?"
once always in for the kill
now it's too cold
and he feels too old
too old.
