Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Jangling Jack
Jangling Jack Goes Yackety Yack Visits the home of the brave Hails a fat yellow cab Jack wanna celebrate Jack wanna big drink Driver drops him at a bar Called the Rinky Dink Jack pushes through the door And crosses the floor Tips his hat to a man Grinning in the corner Going Do da do Do da do Says, I'm Jangling Jack I go Do da do I wanna Rinky Dink Special I wanna little umbrella too Jack flops on his stool Sees the grinning man laugh So Jack laughs back Jack raises his glass Says, God bless this country And everything in it The losers and the winners The good guys and the sinners The grinning man says, Buddy It's all Yackety Yack Whips out a little black pistol Shoots a bullet in Jack Jangling Jack Do Da Do Do Da Do Jangling Jack How do you Do Da Do Jangling Jack Flies off his seat Crashes through the door Lands in a heap on the street Hears his mother's voice Going, Do do do Jack is shouting Mummy is that you? He sees the berserk city Sees the dead stacked in piles Sees the screaming crowd Screams, Where am I? Going Do da do Going Do da do Well Jangling Jack As a matter of fact Crawls through the crowd Back into the bar Jack crawls to his stool Jack drags himself up Falls back down on his arse In a puddle of blood Going Goodbye Mummy Goodbye Goodbye Jack doubles over And he vomits and dies Going Do do do Going Do do do
