James Cecil Dickens, més conegut com a Little Jimmy Dickens (Bolt, Virgínia Occidental, 19 de desembre de 1920 − Nashville, Tennessee, 2 de gener de 2015),[1] va ser un cantant de country estatunidenc. Es va fer conegut pel bon humor de les lletres de les seves cançons, la seva petita alçada (150 cm), i el seu vestuari adornat amb esborradores. Va ser membre del Grand Ole Opry durant 60 anys, així com del Country Music Hall of Fame.
Algunes de les frases que formen part de les seves cançons:[2]
- “Lord, have mercy, John. There goes Mighty Mouse in his pajamas!”
- “I cannot do both.”
- “Daddy’s name was Ferdinand, Mommy’s name was Lizer, so they named him Fertilizer.”
- “Shake hands, old man, I married your sister!”
- “You’d better run, idiot, we’re brothers!”
- “Rose! What’s the name of that medicine I’m takin'?!”
- “No, but if you’ll go up to the front desk and ask the nurse she’ll tell you who you are.”
- “That all depends. The lady that lives here lets me sleep with her.”
- “Get it over with, Shorty. I’m the janitor and I’d like to go home.”
- “Now I know what I did with my hearing aid!”
