Selfish Jack
\nBecause you never let me see what’s inside<\/p>\n
You never let me in to see what’s inside<\/p>\n
As my suspense builds up with each wind<\/p>\n
You never let me see what’s inside<\/p>\n
I’ve known you all this time<\/p>\n
Yet you never let me see what’s inside<\/p>\n
This house that Jack built<\/p>\n
This box you live in<\/p>\n
I wait and I wait for your song to end<\/p>\n
But you still won’t let me in<\/p>\n
Just to see what you’ve done to that weasel<\/p>\n
Maybe it’s supper time for you and the weasel<\/p>\n
Is your home nice and cozy for you and that weasel<\/p>\n
Have you many places to seat who you entertain<\/p>\n
Is there room for me in your humble abode<\/p>\n
May I please see your table and chairs<\/p>\n
The draperies hung to your windows<\/p>\n
The tea kettle on your stove<\/p>\n
How many boudoirs do you have, is there one for me<\/p>\n
Please I must see<\/p>\n
The weasel no longer lives in Jack’s house
\nI think he may have cooked him<\/p>\n
i wasn’t invited so I don’t care<\/p>\n
pop goes the weasel<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
