There goes Jack the reckless fool
Scootin' up the beanstalk
And with another fool
Maybe tonight the two
Will be bottled in alcohool
There goes Jack, the village loon
And almost up the beanstalk
Scampering to the moon
Doesn't know what he's doin'
He's hurrying to his ruin
Bridge
No giant finds it bothersome
To grapple with a midget
He'll pinion Jack beneath his thumb
And spank him with a digit
Spank him with a digit
Jack and the Beanstalk
We'll long remember when
He shimmied up the stalk
To beard a giant in his den
Once up the beanstalk
If Jack is set upon
Then Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Or Jack you're good as gone
Interlude
Up, up, up, up, there he goes
Up to where? nobody knows
Long is the beanstalk
And short is little Jack
The long and short of it is
Is he ever coming back?
Interlude
Jack and the beanstalk, there goes Jack
But is Jack ever coming back?
Outro
I'll be back and when I've reappeared
With the Giant by the beard
You will tell the kids the legend of
The famous Giant Killer Jack!
