JIMMY: Oh, the places I would like to show you Although I hardly know you I've a funny feeling we make a perfect pair Famous sites I want to see you seeing Then nights of you and me-ing Me. You. We - Wait a minute! Just a minute! No, no, no, no! I'm a Joe with just one aim Ev'ry night to date a diff'rent dame Call each one of 'em the same pet name "Hey, baby!" In a row, I have my ducks Loads of gals to give me loads of yucks Leave the cooing to the other clucks I don't mean maybe Got it good. What do I need with love? Always practice what I preach Keep temptation out of easy reach Stick to dolls who wash their hair in bleach I'm happy Come and go the way I choose Never gonna sing the tied-down blues Other guys would kill to fill my shoes No wing-clipped sappy Got it good. What do I need with love? That was a near miss, talk about a close shave Flirted with disaster There must be someone up there watching over me Talk about a four-leaf-clover-me Peter Rabbit's missing footsie Means I roll without a tootsie Got it good. What do I need with love? I got it good. What do I need with love? Skip the vows and all that rot Tell the minister that "I do" not Bright and breezy is the - Birds and bees-y is the - Free and easy is the life I got Without her. Although I hardly know you What do I need with love? I got it good Got it good But now I got it bad!

Honestly, he didn't sing this well. He has the talent where he can sing this well, but he didn't sound like he was taking this song seriously. He instead wanted to dick around with the song. I'm not an idiot. I know this guy is immensely talented. but, he didn't want to take the song seriously for whatever reason.
Well its not an actual performance of TMM, of course he isn't gonna act like it. It's also the least serious song in the musical so why would he take it seriously.
