The Irish Rovers - Jack & The Beanstock lyrics

near to the town of Peppermint Down lived a boy by the name of Jack He lived with his ma' and an old brown car In a poor old tumbled down shack Well the car was all they ever owned and one eventual day A peddler gave him magic beans so Jack sold the car away. (A peddler gave him magic beans so Jack sold the car away.) Well Jack's ma' screamed and sent him to bed when she found that the car was gone And Jack in disgust threw his beans away but when he awoke at dawn Out in the yard was strangeful site that filled him with surprise. For a beanstalk grew from the magic beans, that went up through the clouds in the sky. (a beanstalk grew from the magic beans, that went up through the clouds in the sky.) "ah well" said Jack, "this is some fine sight. I wonder where it goes" And the brave little man started to climb high up where the cold wind blows Well he pa**ed the birds, he pa**ed the clouds, he pa**ed the moon and stars 'Til there at the top a castle stood with a million windows and towers. (there at the top a castle stood with a million windows and towers.) Well he found a hen with golden eggs and a harp that talked for fun But he woke the giant from his sleep, and Jack began to run Fe-fi-fo-fum I smell an Irishman He's got my harp and my little hen I'll make a snack out of him (He's got my harp and my little hen, I'll make a snack of him) Well as we all know, the bigger they are, the harder they have to fall So don't be sad if you're not too tough, for it's sometimes good to be small For Jack came down as quick as wink, as the giant was heavy and tall. And he made a hole in Jack's backyard, Jack lived quite rich after-all. (he made a hole in Jack's backyard, Jack lived quite rich after-all.)
