Jangling Jack lyrics

Artist  : Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds 
Song : Jangling Jack
 


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
