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
