Lyrics
Happy Jack 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 sing the wrong key
So they rode on his head in their furry donkey

The kids can’t hurt Jack
They try try try
They drop things on his back
And lie lie lie lie

They couldn’t stop Jack and the waters lapping
Then they couldn’t prevent Jack from feelin’ happy

But they couldn’t stop Jack or the waters lapping
Then they couldn’t prevent Jack from feelin’ happy

Kids couldn’t hurt Jack
They try try try
They drop things on his back
And lie lie lie lie lie

They couldn’t stop Jack or the waters lapping
Then they couldn’t prevent Jack from feelin’ happy
