Happy Jack wasn't old but he was a man He lived in the sand of the Isle of Man
The [Em] [D]
kids would all sing he would take the wrong key
So they rode on his head in their furry donkey
Kids
[G] could hurt Jack, [A] they'd say and say and say
[G] But things on his back, [A] they'd lay lay lay lay lay
They
[D] couldn't stop Jack or the water's lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy
