[Verse 1]
EJack was really a jesterA  
Who held his Eone good eye on the Aqueen
And Ethere sat the king beside herA  
He's pointing Ehis sword up and down with Aevery scene
And the Ewizard's in the cornerA  
Catching Epeanuts between his Ateeth
And the Edogs lying in the shadow in the Aarchway
There's Eone good dog sleeping Afilled with good ol' dog dreams
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
He Eslipped next to the wizardA  
Whispered Esomething deep, to the Abottom of his ear
A little Ejoke, the one about the farmer's Adaughter
How she was Estomping on grapes
Coming up with Ablue feet and beer
And he Eslipped behind the queenA  
Where the Efools go the rich don't Amind
ELately the king's Aknights have turned a little rusty
And his Ehalo - I mean his crownA  
Has gone and slipped down aEround his eyesA

[Verse 1]

E A

Jack was really a jester

E A

Who held his one good eye on the queen

E A

And there sat the king beside her

E A

He's pointing his sword up and down with every scene

E A

And the wizard's in the corner

E A

Catching peanuts between his teeth

E A

And the dogs lying in the shadow in the archway

E A

There's one good dog sleeping filled with good ol' dog dreams

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

E A

He slipped next to the wizard

E A

Whispered something deep, to the bottom of his ear

E A

A little joke, the one about the farmer's daughter

How she was stomping on grapes

Coming up with blue feet and beer

E A

And he slipped behind the queen

E A

Where the fools go the rich don't mind

E A

Lately the king's knights have turned a little rusty

E A

And his halo - I mean his crown

E A

Has gone and slipped down around his eyes

[Solo]

[Verse 3]

E A

The wizard's in the corner

E A

Pulling lizards between his knees

E A

And the dog he been long gone

E A

Gone to pitch for the winning team

E A

Fifty-two, I mean fifty-four bicycles on the wall

E A

Ready to ride, ready to ride til the last of them falls

E A

Jack's been cooking in the kitchen all this time

E A

Whompin' up some biscuits for us all
