Текст песни: The House That Jack Built + перевод

Brother Nigel paints the stairs with the signs of the Zodiac

Throws milk in the mirror as he stands in his plastic bag

My sister Emma rides ever round and round the garden

Spends the whole day saying: «I beg your pardon»

Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

It makes you wanna cry

This is the house that Jack built, baby

And it reaches up into the sky

Uncle Joe cracks walnuts in between his toes for fun

And looks through coloured glass at the dark spots on the sun

And Mary, she believes that her mother was a queen

Keep saying you just missed him, King Solomon has just been

Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

It makes you wanna cry

This is the house that Jack built, baby

And it reaches up into the sky

Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

It makes you wanna cry

This is the house that Jack built, baby

And it reaches up into the sky

Cousin Festus writes a letter each and every single day

He believes that writing letters keeps the Asian flu away

I got a reservation, now it’s given it for free

Cause I killed all the flies in the State of Tennessee

Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

It makes you wanna cry

This is the house that Jack built, baby

And it reaches up into the sky

I’m coming

I’m coming

Please save a place for me

Oho, I’m coming, babe

Oho, I’m coming, babe

Oho, I’m coming, baby
