Pete Townshend - Happy Jack lyrics

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 on their furry donkey But they never stopped Jack or the water lapping And they couldn't distract him from the seagulls flapping The kids couldn't hurt Jack They tried and tried and tried They dropped things on his back They lied and lied and lied and lied and lied But they never stopped Jack or the waters lapping And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy They never stopped Jack nor the waters lapping And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy
