Jangling Jack
Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

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 he crosses the floor

Tips his hat to a man

Grinning in the corner

Going do da do, going do da do

Going do da do, going do da do

Says, I'm Jangling Jack

I go do da do

I wanna Rinky Dink Special

I wanna little umbrella too

And he 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

And I said, 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

I hear now Jangling Jack do da do, do da do

Jangling Jack, do da do, do, do

Jangling Jack, do do do, do

Jangling Jack, do da do, do, do

Hey buddy

Jangling Jack flies off his seat

Crashes through the door

Lands in a heap on the street

Hears his mother's voice

Going, do da do

Jack is shouting, mummy, mummy

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

Going do da do, going do da do

Oh yeah

Jangling Jack, do da do, da da do

Jangling Jack, do da do, do, do

Jangling Jack, do da do, do, do

Jangling Jack, do da do, do, do

Oh, mummy, mummy

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 ass

In a puddle of blood

Going goodbye mummy

Goodbye ma

Then Jack doubles over

And he vomits and dies

Going do da do, going do da do

Going do da do, going do da do

Oh yeah

Jangling Jack, do da do, da da do

Jangling Jack, do da do, do, do

Jangling Jack, do da do, do da do

Jangling Jack, do da do, do, do
