Verse 1:
|
Jack would stand one
|
Foot in front of the
|
Other foot and then
|
Lick his lips again
|
The train came past about
|
Three o'clock or so
|
His mother told him so
|
All the kids should know
|
His hand was sore from
|
All the gravel rash
|
Would he get it back
|
It looked just like the tracks
|
He must not take his shoes off yet
|
His mother told him this
|
|
Chorus:
|
Would there be hope someday
|
Or would his spark slowly fade
|
This the boy who would smile
|
When his heart was in pain
|
And his simple mind
|
Would be settled in grace
|
When he knelt down and spoke
|
To his father in his grave
|
|
Verse 2:
|
The boys would hide
|
Behind the tea tree
|
The ugly tea tree
|
The fucking tea tree
|
They'd all jump out and
|
Jack would smile at them
|
And then they'd smirk at him
|
And kick stones at him
|
The first punch came from
|
The big fat one
|
Then all the other ones
|
He wondered what he'd done
|
He'd end up in the little frog pond
|
Beside the railway line
|
|
Chorus:
|
Would there be hope someday
|
Or would his spark slowly fade
|
This the boy who would smile
|
When his heart was in pain
|
And his simple mind
|
Would be settled in grace
|
When he knelt down and spoke
|
To his father in his grave
|
|
na na na naa
|
ohh na na na...
|
|
Verse 3:
|
And then one day the
|
Big fat one
|
Was drowning in the pond
|
And crying for his mum
|
And jack came down
|
And he pulled him out again
|
And then he put his hands
|
Over his simple head
|
|
And all the frogs went
|
La de da de da
|
La de da de da
|
La de da de da
|
yes all the frogs went
|
La de da de da
|
La de da de da de da
|
|
Chorus:
|
Would there be hope someday
|
Or would his spark slowly fade
|
This the boy who would smile
|
When his heart was in pain
|
And his simple mind
|
Would be settled in grace
|
When he knelt down and spoke
|
To his father in his grave
|
|
na na na na..
|
|
Outro:
|
all the frogs go
|
la de da de da
|
all the frogs go
|
la de da de da
|
all the frogs go
|
la de da de da
|
all the frogs go
|
la de da de da
|
yes all the frogs go
|
la de da de da
|
all the frogs go
|
la de da da
|
yes all the frogs go
|
la de da da
|
all the frogs go
|
la de da de da
|
all the frogs go
|
la de da de da
|
all the frogs go
|
la de da de daaaaaaa
