Ride a penguin on the Fourth of July
John Adams won't forgive you if you do not try
Dump some concrete all over your head
If the penguin's sleeping, ride a sparrow instead
Jacks high
Around Thanksgiving things really got grim
The ferry was in drydock so we had to swim
We filled our pockets with rocks and sawdust
And walked right across 'til gravity caught us
Jacks high
Pull the plug from a barrel of stout
And try to look surprised when the Buddha jumps out
Ask him to tell you all he has heard
But keep your cards close and don't trust a word
Jacks high
So put red socks on your ten-pound goose
Teach her how to shake it all slow and loose
Fill your jug with molten steel
And I will not touch you where you cannot feel
