Happy Jack

(album: A Quick One / Happy Jack - 1966)

[John Entwistle:]
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 take the wrong key
So they rode on his head in their furry donkey

[Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle & Pete Townshend:]
The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried, tried, tried
They dropped things on his back
They lied, lied, lied, lied, lied

[John Entwistle:]
But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

[Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle & Pete Townshend:]
The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried, tried, tried
They dropped things on his back
They lied, lied, lied, lied, lied

[John Entwistle:]
But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy

[Pete Townshend ad-libs:]
I saw yer!
