My name James but you can call me Jim Or if it suit me why not call me friend Because I can tell y'all are honest folk Being that I come from a long line of honest men The family surname is Solomon Our line of work is foundations Been in business since way back when Paved the way for a mighty handsome reputation Specialty's concrete and cement Expertise is the basement But we done tennis courts and copter pads So if it's flat give us a call, we can probably make it happen To no surprise there's a constant ringing Growth today the phone keep singing Tapers off round 4 or 5 So imagine my surprise that night I get a call at 1AM I grab receiver yell, "who the hell is this?" Woman's voice says, "Hello is this Jim?" "No it ain't don't call here again!" She said, "wait one hot minute Mr. Solomon, I'm calling you all the way from the Wheel of Fortune" I said, "you got any clue what time it is?" She say, "Congratulations you're our next contestant" "Listen here I want no part of this!" She said, "now Jim, I hear you've got a way with words And you can win some serious cash" There is one thing I forgot to mention When I walked you through my heritage My family tree we ain't just hard working We're also highly educated, polymathic bookworms, Hyper-literate wordsmiths True I been laying floor since age of ten Just like my Pa and his before him So it probably do not make sense When I say we're 9-to-5 down to earth Blue collar librarian The trowel is my main instrument But now and again I'll wield a pen Sit down at the writing desk and smooth out a story, essay, maybe even a poem Been told my gift is heaven sent So when I hear this Fortune wheel nonsense Is more or less a game of hangman I no doubt I can win, drive into town, And take the next red eye flight to Los Angeles This is the beginning of the end Don't play with loaded gun You'll start to be undone Consider this a warning The game is already won Don't fly too close to the sun Sure enough that's just what happened I gave the wheel a big old spin On the final round I hit 10,000 and solved the puzzle with the letter "N" I made a fool out of the competition There that day on the Television You won't believe what I done win But a round-trip luxury resort cruise line To Bermuda with base jumping and sky diving Long story short I'm now highly addicted To the extreme sport of parachuting I learned of the rush of adrenaline Been thrill seeking, paratrooping, crash landing since Planes ain't cheap even to rent Quickly my prize money it came and went Sold my car and I sold my house But it wasn't enough, I got so desperate I called my Italian friend I said, "Vinny please won't you loan me some cash? One last jump then I'll quit after that" He said, "Jim, you're family you don't have to ask- Just do me a favor and hide these body bags" By this point I was in over my head Said after this dive no never again So I packed up my gear in the middle of night Arranged the airplane and went about burying the dead Took the company truck that was full of cement To the hole of an unfinished basement Unloaded the bags of torsos and limbs Dumped in the concrete smoothed it out So a passerby would never even know what happened Awful nervous still covered in sweat When the jet took off the runway strip I told the pilot, "just keep going up, This is my final jump and it's got to be the biggest yet" When I finally stepped up to the edge Almost had the atmosphere left Pilot he shouts "can't go no further Jim" So I dove overboard headfirst singing the national anthem I instantly knew I'd forgotten the pin You know the one that makes the parachute open But I kept falling with a big old grin I'm going so fast, I'm going to make such a crater, They won't even have to dig me a grave, They'll just come they'll fill me in This is the beginning of the end Don't play with loaded gun You'll start to be undone Consider this a warning The game is already won Don't fly too close to the sun
