Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man

He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man

The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key

So they rode on his head on their furry donkey

The kids couldn't hurt Jack

They tried and tried and tried

They dropped things on his back

And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
