Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Happy Jacky 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 in their furry donkey
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
But they couldn't stop Jacky, and the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy
[Verse 4]
But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
But they couldn't stop Jack  nor the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy
[Verse 7]
I saw ya
