Lyrics

(G to Gadd11 shuffle) They say Timothy Von Overton was custom-made
[C] By his mother and father on Valentine’s Day
(G to Gadd11) When Timmy turned four he could read and write.
[C] Did his babysitter’s homework every Saturday night

[E7]They call him Top Shelf Timmy
(Top shelf Timmy)
[A7]Top shelf Timmy
(Top shelf Timmy)
[E7]Top shelf Timmy [D7]We know he’ll be [A7] alright. [E7]

(G to Gadd11) He kissed his first girl in the grade school hall
He was sent to the office, and they made the call
(G to Gadd11) His mother and his father told him no no no,
but all the girls in school said go go go

[E7]They call him Top Shelf Timmy
(Top shelf Timmy)
[A7]Top shelf Timmy
(Top shelf Timmy)
[E7]Top shelf Timmy [D7]We know he’ll be [A7] alright. [E7]

Timmy was the captain of the football team
And Timmy started dating the homecoming queen
Debbie lead the cheers, her childhood dream
And when Timmy threw a touchdown, the cheerleaders screamed

They screamed
Top Shelf Timmy
(Top shelf Timmy)
Top shelf Timmy
(Top shelf Timmy)
Top shelf Timmy We know he’ll be alright.

Timmy had his choice of football schools
When he picked Alabama Deb said well I do too
They headed down south seeking fortune and fame
But in his very first practice Timmy pulled up lame

They call him Top Shelf Timmy
(Top shelf Timmy)
Top shelf Timmy
(Top shelf Timmy)
Top shelf Timmy We know he’ll be alright.

Timmy went home. Debbie stayed behind
She promised young Timmy that they’d be fine
Timmy settled in at the local bar
Drinking old style and the whiskey sour

They call him Top Shelf Timmy
(Top shelf Timmy)
Top shelf Timmy
(Top shelf Timmy)
Top shelf Timmy We know he’ll be alright.

When Debbie ghosted Timmy, he knew he was though
He lived at the bar. It was all that he knew
His friends moved on to lives with jobs
Timmy just drank his beer and sobbed

They call him Top Shelf Timmy
(Top shelf Timmy)
Top shelf Timmy
(Top shelf Timmy)
Top shelf Timmy We know he’ll be all right.

Timmy was there the day the bartender quit
So Timmy stepped in, and the drinks he mixed
Timmy had a talent, or so it seemed
Martinis and Gimlets were Timmy’s new dream

Now they call him Top Shelf Timmy
(Top shelf Timmy)
Top shelf Timmy
(Top shelf Timmy)
Top shelf Timmy We know he’ll be alright.
