Jack Lyrics - Widespread Panic

Jack was really a jester 

Who held his one good eye on the queen 

And there sat the king beside her 

He's pointing his sword up and down with every scene 

And the wizard's in the corner 

Catching peanuts between his teeth 

And the dogs lying in the shadow in the archway 

There's one good dog sleeping filled with good ol' dog dreams 

He slipped next to the wizard 

Whispered something deep, to the bottom of his ear 

A little joke, the one about the farmer's daughter 

How she was stomping on grapes, coming up with blue feet and beer 

And he slipped behind the queen 

Where the fools go the rich don't mind 

Lately the king's (k)nights have turned a little rusty 

And his halo - I mean his crown - has gone and slipped down around his eyes 

The wizard's in the corner 

Pulling lizards between his knees 

And the dog he been long gone 

Gone to pitch for the winning team 

Fifty-two, I mean fifty-four bicycles on the wall 

Ready to ride, ready to ride until the last of them falls 

Jack's been cooking in the kitchen 

Whompin' up some biscuits for us all 

For us all, For us all 

Ready to ride, ready to ride, ride
