Jangling Jack
Lyricist:Nicholas Edward Cave
Jangling Jack Goes Yackety Yack Visits the home of the brave Hails a fat yellow cab
Jack wanna celebrate Jack wanna big drink Driver drops him at a bar Called the Rinky Dink
Jack pushes through the door And he crosses the floor Tips his hat to a man Grinning in the corner
Going do da do, going do da do Going do da do, going do da do
Says, I'm Jangling Jack I go do da do I wanna Rinky Dink Special I wanna little umbrella too
And he flops on his stool Sees the grinning man laugh So Jack laughs back Jack raises his glass
Says, God bless this country And everything in it The losers and the winners And I said, good guys and the sinners
The grinning man says Buddy it's all Yackety Yack Whips out a little black pistol Shoots a bullet in Jack
I hear now Jangling Jack do da do, do da do Jangling Jack, do da do, do, do Jangling Jack, do do do, do Jangling Jack, do da do, do, do
Hey buddy
Jangling Jack flies off his seat Crashes through the door Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Lands in a heap on the street
Hears his mother's voice Going, do da do Jack is shouting, mummy, mummy Mummy is that you?
He sees the berserk city Sees the dead stacked in piles Sees the screaming crowd Screams, where am I?
Going do da do, going do da do Going do da do, going do da do Oh yeah
Jangling Jack, do da do, da da do Jangling Jack, do da do, do, do Jangling Jack, do da do, do, do Jangling Jack, do da do, do, do
Oh, mummy, mummy
Well, Jangling Jack As a matter of fact Crawls through the crowd Back into the bar
Jack crawls to his stool Jack drags himself up Falls back down on his ass In a puddle of blood
Going goodbye mummy Goodbye ma Then Jack doubles over And he vomits and dies
Going do da do, going do da do Going do da do, going do da do Oh yeah
Jangling Jack, do da do, da da do Jangling Jack, do da do, do, do Jangling Jack, do da do, do da do Jangling Jack, do da do, do, do
