Eddie Cochran - Skinny Jim (Early Years)

Well, I know a guy who's bone & skin
Women, they've been ravin' 'bout skinny Jim
Skinny Jim, man, skinny Jim
Yes yes yes, all the gals love him, skinny Jim

Well, I went to a party & skinny Jim
(2nd line imperceptible)
Skinny Jim, man, skinny Jim
Yes yes yes, all the gals love him, skinny Jim

Well, Jim got charm, he got class
All the women love him oh yeah yeah yeah
Skinny Jim, man, skinny Jim
Yes yes yes, all the gals love him, skinny Jim

(scat singing + title, x4)
Yes yes yes, all the gals love him, skinny Jim

(instrumental)

(repeat verses 2 & 3)

(scat singing + title, x4)
Yes yes yes, all the gals love him, skinny Jim

Classic Eddie ushering in rock with ATTITUDE!!! You can have his Elvis-apeing ballads. Liberty Records missed the boat casting Eddie as both a rocker and a crooner, but, in fairness to Liberty, hindsight is pretty accurate 50 years later!

Hello squirrelnutcased, Gene Vincent wrote Be-Bop-A-Lula in 1956 and recorded it 04. May 1956 in Nashville (Tennessee) together with Woman Love and it came out 02. June 1956 as B-Side on Gene Vincents first single Woman Love. Eddie Cochrans single Skinny Jim and Half Loved - CREST Records 1026 - came out July 1956. Hope that this information will help you.

Hi, Eddie had this song released in July 1956 (it was a Crest RPM), Be Bop A Lula was released in June 1956, the B side of Woman Love (on Capitol records). But it took a little time before a DJ had the idea to play the B side of Woman Love, so Skinny Jim and Be Bop A Lula must have become popular at the same time? You should try to find some chart archives if you want to be sure. Btw, I've away from Youtube for a long time, do you still cover classic rockabilly? :)

This isnt the best version of this song ,by a long shot. Eddie does a much faster version with more piano on other records.
