"Shimmy Jimmy" was, at the time of its introduction, the flagship product of the Har D Har Toy Company. It is described as a "Climby toy"; a toy that has a small figure that moves up and down a pole, in this case a monkey up a coconut tree.
There was also different Shimmy Jimmy merchandise stocked on the shelves of the Har D Har toy shops, but mainly the toy. It was preceded by Climbin' Simon, Ascendin' Brendan, Ladder Man Larry and Climby Jaimie. Phineas and Ferb, finding Jimmy's concept lacking, decide to design a new toy.
Lyrics[]
Doot do-do-do do doo
Doot do-do-do doo
Shimmy Jimmy!
He can climb up a tree in nothing flat
Grab a ripe coconut and shimmy right back
He's a real wild monkey
He can swing and dance
You'd better watch what he's throwing
He ain't wearing no pants
Shimmy Jimmy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ah!
Shimmy Jimmy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ah!
Man this monkey is the coolest toy around
Doot do-do-do doo
Shimmy Jimmy
Announcer: Another gem from the Har D Har Toy makers!
Hyena: Ha ha ha ha!
