Jackie Beanstalk

Well, there's not enough that I can say to you child

When your daddy's gone and you momma's far away

Cuddle up to me now, lemme read to you

A tale of the Jack and the Beanstalk will do

They didn't have much money so he sold

The cow for a bean and not the gold

They thought he was mad 'cause he said it was magic

Thought it was bad they said it was tragic

Jackie was glad he planted that bean where it can't be seen

Well, he woke up in the morning, what did he see?

Such an enormous beanstalk tall as a tree

Growing up to the clouds and then to disappear

Jackie just smiled and then he felt no fear

Up he climbed to see where it did go

What was up there he had to know

They thought he was mad cause he said it was magic

Thought it was bad they said it was tragic

Jackie was glad he planted that bean where it can't be seen

Well, he came upon a land so strange up in the sky

And he met a little old lady a-passing by

And she taught him all about the giant who lived there

So terrible and ugly with his matted hair

When he heard the sound of fee, fi, fo, fum

Off to the little oven he did run

Jackie was scared but he knew he had magic

Jackie had dared, he wasn't so tragic

Lady she cared he planted that bean where it can't be seen

Jackie was scared but he knew he had magic

Jackie had dared, he wasn't so tragic

Lady she cared he planted that bean where it can't be seen

Jackie could see the giant at his sup

Sniffin' an a-huffin' an a-drinkin' from his cup

Shoutin' at the dame to fetch his hen

The one that lays the golden eggs and then

As the giant slept our Jackie crept

Stole the hen and down the beanstalk leapt

Jackie can't stop the hen from crowin'

Wakin' up the giant from his snorin'

Jackie could hear the giant roar chasin' after him

Jackie saw the giant followin'

Jackie smiled at his bellowin'

Then our Jackie cuts the beanstalk down

Now the giant's dead, he saved the town

Far and wide are Jackie's tale they tell

The magic there's for you to find as well

They thought he was mad 'cause he said it was magic

Thought it was bad they said it was tragic

Jackie was glad he planted that bean where it can't be seen

Jackie was scared but he knew he had magic

Jackie had dared and he wasn't so tragic

Jackie was glad he planted that bean where it can't be seen
