Well, there's not enough that I can say to you child |
|
When your daddy's gone and you momma's far away |
|
Cuddle up to me now, lemme read to you |
|
A tale of the Jack and the Beanstalk will do |
|
They didn't have much money so he sold |
|
The cow for a bean and not the gold |
|
They thought he was mad 'cause he said it was magic |
|
Thought it was bad they said it was tragic |
|
Jackie was glad he planted that bean where it can't be seen |
|
Well, he woke up in the morning, what did he see? |
|
Such an enormous beanstalk tall as a tree |
|
Growing up to the clouds and then to disappear |
|
Jackie just smiled and then he felt no fear |
|
Up he climbed to see where it did go |
|
What was up there he had to know |
|
They thought he was mad cause he said it was magic |
|
Thought it was bad they said it was tragic |
|
Jackie was glad he planted that bean where it can't be seen |
|
Well, he came upon a land so strange up in the sky |
|
And he met a little old lady a-passing by |
|
And she taught him all about the giant who lived there |
|
So terrible and ugly with his matted hair |
|
When he heard the sound of fee, fi, fo, fum |
|
Off to the little oven he did run |
|
Jackie was scared but he knew he had magic |
|
Jackie had dared, he wasn't so tragic |
|
Lady she cared he planted that bean where it can't be seen |
|
Jackie was scared but he knew he had magic |
|
Jackie had dared, he wasn't so tragic |
|
Lady she cared he planted that bean where it can't be seen |
|
Jackie could see the giant at his sup |
|
Sniffin' an a-huffin' an a-drinkin' from his cup |
|
Shoutin' at the dame to fetch his hen |
|
The one that lays the golden eggs and then |
|
As the giant slept our Jackie crept |
|
Stole the hen and down the beanstalk leapt |
|
Jackie can't stop the hen from crowin' |
|
Wakin' up the giant from his snorin' |
|
Jackie could hear the giant roar chasin' after him |
|
Jackie saw the giant followin' |
|
Jackie smiled at his bellowin' |
|
Then our Jackie cuts the beanstalk down |
|
Now the giant's dead, he saved the town |
|
Far and wide are Jackie's tale they tell |
|
The magic there's for you to find as well |
|
They thought he was mad 'cause he said it was magic |
|
Thought it was bad they said it was tragic |
|
Jackie was glad he planted that bean where it can't be seen |
|
Jackie was scared but he knew he had magic |
|
Jackie had dared and he wasn't so tragic |
|
Jackie was glad he planted that bean where it can't be seen |
