Jangling Jack
|
Goes Yackety Yack
|
Visits the home of the brave
|
Hails a fat yellow cab
|
Jack wanna celebrate
|
Jack wanna big drink
|
Driver drops him at a bar
|
Called the Rinky Dink
|
Jack pushes through the door
|
And crosses the floor
|
Tips his hat to a man
|
Grinning in the corner
|
Going Do da do Do da do
|
|
Says, I'm Jangling Jack
|
I go Do da do
|
I wanna Rinky Dink Special
|
I wanna little umbrella too
|
Jack flops on his stool
|
Sees the grinning man laugh
|
So Jack laughs back
|
Jack raises his glass
|
Says, God bless this country
|
And everything in it
|
The losers and the winners
|
The good guys and the sinners
|
The grinning man says, Buddy
|
It's all Yackety Yack
|
Whips out a little black pistol
|
Shoots a bullet in Jack
|
|
Jangling Jack
|
Do Da Do Do Da Do
|
Jangling Jack
|
How do you Do Da Do
|
|
Jangling Jack Flies off his seat
|
Crashes through the door
|
Lands in a heap on the street
|
Hears his mother's voice
|
Going, Do do do
|
Jack is shouting
|
Mummy is that you?
|
He sees the berserk city
|
Sees the dead stacked in piles
|
Sees the screaming crowd
|
Screams, Where am I?
|
Going Do da do Going Do da do
|
|
Well Jangling Jack
|
As a matter of fact
|
Crawls through the crowd
|
Back into the bar
|
Jack crawls to his stool
|
Jack drags himself up
|
Falls back down on his arse
|
In a puddle of blood
|
Going Goodbye Mummy
|
Goodbye Goodbye
|
Jack doubles over
|
And he vomits and dies
|
Going Do do do Going Do do do
|
