       D                       A7    D
Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man.
    D                       A7       D
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man.
     D                             A7        D
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key,
         D                         A7    D
So they rode on his head in their furry donkey.

Chorus:
     G
The kids couldn't hurt Jack,
       A
They tried, tried, tried.
       G
They dropped things on his back,
      A
They lied, lied, lied, lied, lied.

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy
But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

Chorus:
The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried, tried, tried
They dropped things on his back
They lied, lied, lied, lied, lied

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy
