Gentle Jack Georges Moustaki

They call him Jack the Ripper, Gentle Jack
He rides through the city on his big black bike
He will stop at a corner - whistle a tune
Someone will always climb aboard
And you'll never see her again
Fathers tell their daughters
To keep away from Jack
Brothers tie their sisters to a chair
Husbands warn their wives
That Jack is on the prowl
But it doesn't really matter
Someone always climbs aboard
Husbands warn their wives
That Jack is on the prowl
But it doesn't really matter
Someone always climbs aboard

He wears a black mustache and a green hat
That's all that we know of that so Gentle Jack
A band of many husbands off'ring rewards
Someone will always climb aboard
And you'll never see her again

Fathers tell their daughters
To keep away from Jack
Brothers tie their sisters to a chair
Husbands warn their wives
That Jack is on the prowl
But it doesn't really matter
Someone always climbs aboard
Husbands warn their wives
That Jack is on the prowl
But it doesn't really matter
Someone always climbs aboard
And if one day you find this Gentle Jack
And you want to get that big and fat reward
You'll have to jump and whistle with Gentle Jack
Pretend that you are someone's friend
But no one will see you again
