I've got a song called GIMME SOME (complete title) from the 1964 musical Golden
Boy by Lee Adams and Charles Strouse. There are a number of other songs which
start with the words Gimme Some (GIMME SOME LOVIN', GIMME SOME SKIN MY FRIEND,
GIMME SOME SLACK, GIMME SOME TRUTH). It sounds like you're looking for a Big
Band era song with that title, which I don't know about. However, here's GIMME
SOME. I hope it's what you need.

Beer and whiskey, whiskey and beer,
Makes your head start achin,'
Makes your eyes unclear;
Makes you waste your money,
Turns you blind and dumb,
Gimme some.
Strong tobacco, cigarette smoke,
Such a dirty habit,
Makes you damn near choke;
Fills your lungs with poison,
Makes your brain go numb,
Gimme some.

Will I ever get smart? I doubt it.
Tell me something's bad and I can't live without it.
Pretty women, blue-eyed or brown,
How they drive you crazy,
How they drag you down;
Soon they're fat and happy,
You're a worn-out bum,
Gimme some, gimme some.

Bread and gravy, chicken chow mein,
Too much fancy eatin', only brings you pain,
Doctor says "Hold on there," not another crumb!
Gimme some.
Dice andn poker, blackjack and dice,
Start to win a little, get to feelin' nice!
Bet it all and roll 'em, "Snake eyes, sorry, chum,"
Gimme some.

Will I ever get smart? I doubt it.
Tell me something's bad and I can't live without it.
Say I'm foolish, tell me I'm strange,
Sure! but still I'm havin' too much fun to change!
I'll go right on sayin' till my time has come,
Gimme some, gimme some.
