JACK'S NOT NIMBLE
Jack wasn't so nimble
And definitely not quick,
When he jumped over
The candlestick.
He tripped on the candle
Setting fire to the floor,
It also burned the house,
The one that's next door.
The man who lived there
Was the local church Parson
Jack's now serving time
Convicted of arson.
And definitely not quick,
When he jumped over
The candlestick.
He tripped on the candle
Setting fire to the floor,
It also burned the house,
The one that's next door.
The man who lived there
Was the local church Parson
Jack's now serving time
Convicted of arson.
