Jackie Beanstalk |
| Well, there’s not enough that I can say to you child |
| When your daddy’s gone and you momma’s far away |
| Cuddle up to me now, lemme read to you |
| A tale of the Jack and the Beanstalk will do They didn’t have much money so he sold |
| The cow for a bean and not the gold |
| They thought he was mad 'cause he said it was magic |
| Thought it was bad they said it was tragic |
| Jackie was glad he planted that bean where it can’t be seen |
| Well, he woke up in the morning, what did he see? |
| Such an enormous beanstalk tall as a tree |
| Growing up to the clouds and then to disappear |
| Jackie just smiled and then he felt no fear |
| Up he climbed to see where it did go What was up there he had to know |
| They thought he was mad cause he said it was magic |
| Thought it was bad they said it was tragic |
| Jackie was glad he planted that bean where it can’t be seen |
| Well, he came upon a land so strange up in the sky |
| And he met a little old lady a-passing by And she taught him all about the giant who lived there |
| So terrible and ugly with his matted hair |
| When he heard the sound of fee, fi, fo, fum |
| Off to the little oven he did run |
| Jackie was scared but he knew he had magic |
| Jackie had dared, he wasn’t so tragic |
| Lady she cared he planted that bean where it can’t be seen |
| Jackie was scared but he knew he had magic |
| Jackie had dared, he wasn’t so tragic |
| Lady she cared he planted that bean where it can’t be seen |
| Jackie could see the giant at his sup |
| Sniffin' an a-huffin' an a-drinkin' from his cup |
| Shoutin' at the dame to fetch his hen |
| The one that lays the golden eggs and then |
| As the giant slept our Jackie crept |
| Stole the hen and down the beanstalk leapt |
| Jackie can’t stop the hen from crowin' |
| Wakin' up the giant from his snorin' |
| Jackie could hear the giant roar chasin' after him |
| Jackie saw the giant followin' |
| Jackie smiled at his bellowin' |
| Then our Jackie cuts the beanstalk down |
| Now the giant’s dead, he saved the town |
| Far and wide are Jackie’s tale they tell |
| The magic there’s for you to find as well |
| They thought he was mad 'cause he said it was magic |
| Thought it was bad they said it was tragic |
| Jackie was glad he planted that bean where it can’t be seen |
| Jackie was scared but he knew he had magic |
| Jackie had dared and he wasn’t so tragic |
| Jackie was glad he planted that bean where it can’t be seen |
