Little Jack The Velvet Underground

[Verse One]
I was raised in better days, mostly by myself
No-one ever took the time or was inclined to help
Mother dear, she was never near, she left me to the street
A little boy who was not too tall, with dirty hands and feet

[Chorus]
Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away
Though my life was lily-white
It's all I heard them say
Hey hey

[Verse Two]
Now I'm grown, I'm on my own, running free and wild
Not inclined to be entwined with a missus and a child
Though my dear, it may seem queer, it keeps me in the black
Should you depart to break my heart, don't bother looking back

[Chorus]
Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away
Though my life was lily-white
It's all I heard them say
Hey hey... get it!

[Verse Three]
Now I'm grown, I'm on my own, running free and wild
Not inclined to be entwined with a missus and a child
Though my dear, it may seem queer, it keeps me in the black
Should you depart to break my heart, don't bother looking back
