[D] [G] [D]
Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a rabbit.
He lived in the sand at the island.
[G] [Em] [D]
The kids would all sing, he [A] would get [D] drunky.
So they rode on his head in the hurry donkey.
[G]
Kids couldn't help [A] Jack, they clanked on his back, [G] he dropped things on his back,
[A] because I was a bad, bad, bad, bad guy.
[D] They couldn't stop Jack or the wasps from lapping.
And they couldn't prevent [A] Jack [D] from being happy.

And they couldn't prevent Jack [A] from [D] being happy.
