Jackie Beanstalk Donovan

[Verse 1]
Well, there's not enough that I can say to you child
When your daddy's gone, and your momma 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

[Chorus]
They thought he was mad 'cause he said it was magic
Thought he was bad, they said it was tragic
Jackie was glad he planted that bean where it can't be seen

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
They thought he was mad 'cause he said it was magic
Thought he was bad, they said it was tragic
Jackie was glad he planted that bean where it can't be seen
