Jackie Beanstalk by Donovan
Well, there's not enough that I can say to you child
When your daddy's gone and you momma's 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
They thought he was mad 'cause he said it was magic
Thought it was bad they said it was tragic
Jackie was glad he planted that bean where it can't be
seen
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
They thought he was mad cause he said it was magic
Thought it was bad they said it was tragic
Jackie was glad he planted that bean where it can't be
seen
Well, he came upon a land so strange up in the sky
And he met a little old lady a-passing by
And she taught him all about the giant who lived there
So terrible and ugly with his matted hair
When he heard the sound of fee, fi, fo, fum
Off to the little oven he did run
Jackie was scared but he knew he had magic
Jackie had dared, he wasn't so tragic
