Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man The kids all would sing, he would take the wrong key So they rode on his head with their furry donkey But they never stopped Jack in the water lapping And they couldn't distract him from the sea gulls flapping The kids couldn't hurt Jack They tried and tried and tried They dropped things on his back And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied They never stopped Jack nor the water lapping And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy The kids all would sing, he would take the wrong key So they rode on his head in their furry donkey But they never stopped Jack nor all the water lapping And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy The kids couldn't hurt Jack They tried and tried and tried They dropped things on his back And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied But they never stopped Jack nor the waters lapping And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy
