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 them on the key So they rode on his head in their furry donkey The kids couldn't hold Jack, they tried, tried, tried He dropped things on his back, they ran, ran, ran, ran, ran But they couldn't stop Jack or the water stopping And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy But they couldn't stop Jack or the water stopping And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy Kids come to Jack, they try, try, try They drop their toys on his back and lie, lie, lie, lie, lie But they couldn't stop Jack or the water stopping And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy
