Chorus: |
|
Hey, Peppermint Jack |
|
Hey, Peppermint Jack |
|
Hey, Peppermint Jack |
|
Your hair is gray |
|
And your skin is black |
|
Too old trey say |
|
So you got the sack |
|
I recall that we used to buy |
|
Pepperminds from a lovely guy |
|
He had worked for Icecream Joe |
|
Till he was told he had to go |
|
He said to himself this wise old man: |
|
"Ice is gonna melt but peppermint can't" |
|
So he said to us when we came to school: |
|
"Only peppermint really keeps you cool" |
|
"Only peppermint really keeps you cool" |
|
Chorus |
|
Then one day he didn't appear |
|
When we heard why, we were in tears |
|
Poor old Jack, how little he earned |
|
Went to the place of no return |
|
With a piece of chalk we wrote on his stone: |
|
"Ice is gonna melt, but peppermint won't" |
|
Never more we heard when we came to school: |
|
"Only peppermint really keeps you cool" |
|
"Only peppermint really keeps you cool" |
|
Chorus |
|
Peppermint, peppermint, peppermint Jack |
|
Peppermint, peppermint, peppermint Jack |
|
Peppermint, peppermint, peppermint Jack |
