[G]
Happy Jack [D] wasn't tall but he wasn't He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man
[Bm] [D]
The kids would all sing he would sing grumpy So they rode on his head in their furry donkey
[G] Kids don't know Jack [A] they talk, talk, [G] talk He's hopping, hopping [A] back and forth
And back and back and back
They [D] couldn't stop Jack or the wasps stopped him
And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy
[A] But [D]
