Lyrics - Jangling Jack by Cave Nick

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 crosses the floor
Tips his hat to a man
Grinning in the corner
Going
Do da do
Do da do
Says,
I'm
Jangling
Jack
I go
Do da do
I wanna
Rinky
Dink
Special
I wanna little umbrella too
Jack 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
The 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
Jangling
Jack
Do
Da
Do
Do
Da
Do
Jangling
Jack
How do you
Do
Da
Do
Jangling
Jack
Flies off his seat
Crashes through the door
Lands in a heap on the street
Hears his mother's voice
Going,
Do do do
Jack is shouting
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
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 arse
In a puddle of blood
Going
Goodbye
Mummy
Goodbye
Goodbye
Jack doubles over
And he vomits and dies
Going
Do do do
Going
Do do do
