[Verse 1: John Entwistle] Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man. The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key So they rode on his head in their furry donkey [Chorus: Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle & Pete Townshend] The kids couldn't hurt Jack They tried, tried, tried They dropped things on his back They lied, lied, lied, lied, lied [Verse 2: John Entwistle] But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy [Drum Solo: Keith Moon] [Chorus: Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle & Pete Townshend] The kids couldn't hurt Jack They tried, tried, tried They dropped things on his back They lied, lied, lied, lied, lied [Verse 3: John Entwistle] But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy [Ad Libs: Pete Townshend] I saw yer!
