Count the days into years |
| [00:26.01] |
his eighty two brings many fears |
| [00:31.26] |
Yesterday's laughter turned to tears |
| [00:38.19] |
his arms and legs don't feel so strong |
| [00:39.27] |
his heart is weak, there's something wrong |
| [00:42.21] |
Opens windows in despair |
| [00:44.82] |
tries to breathe in some fresh air |
| [00:47.49] |
his conscience cries: "Get on your feet. |
| [00:50.28] |
without you, Jack, the town can't eat". |
| [00:53.22] |
Grocer Jack, grocer Jack. get off your back. |
| [00:56.97] |
go into town. don't let them down. Oh no. no. |
| [01:01.68] |
Grocer jack. grocer Jack. get off your back. |
| [01:07.62] |
go into town, don't let them down, Oh no. no. |
| [01:17.25] |
The people that live in the town |
| [01:22.35] |
don't understand |
| [01:29.28] |
He's never been known to miss his round, |
| [01:30.06] |
"It's ten-o'clock", the housewives yell. |
| [01:32.76] |
"When Jack turns up we'll 'give him hell." |
| [01:36.45] |
Husbands moan at breakfast tables |
| [01:38.94] |
No milk. no egg. no marmalade labels |
| [01:41.79] |
Mothers send their children out |
| [01:44.55] |
to Jack's house to scream and shout |
| [01:46.77] |
Grocer Jack, grocer Jack. get off your back |
| [01:50.40] |
come into town. don't let us down. Oh no. no. |
| [01:58.89] |
Grocer Jack, grocer Jack. get off your back |
| [02:01.08] |
come into town. don't let us down. Oh no. no. |
| [02:40.59] |
A Sunday morning bright and clear |
| [02:46.05] |
Lovely flowers decorate the marvellous square |
| [02:54.21] |
People cry and walk away and think about the fateful day |
| [02:59.61] |
Now they wish they'd given Jack more affection and respect |
| [03:05.31] |
Little children dressed in black don't know what happened to old Jack |
| [03:09.48] |
Grocer Jack, grocer Jack, is it true what mummy says, |
| [03:26.64] |
you won't come back, oh no, oh no |
| [03:33.30] |
Grocer Jack, grocer Jack, is it true what mummy says, |
| [03:37.68] |
you won't come back, oh no, oh no |
