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
Going do-da-do
Going do-da-do
Going do-da-do
Says, I'm Jangling Jack, I go do-da-do
I wanna Rinky-Dink Special, I wanna little umbrella too
And he 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
Ah yeah now, Jangling Jack, do-da-do, do-da-do
Jangling Jack, how do you do-da-do?
Jangling Jack, how do you do-da-do?
Jangling Jack, how do you do-da-do?
Hey brother, 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, mummy, 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
Going do-da-do
Going do-da-do
Ah yeah, Jangling Jack, do-da-do, do-da-do
Jangling Jack, how do you do-da-do?
Jangling Jack, how do you do-da-do?
Jangling Jack, how do you do-da-do?
Mummy, mummy, 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 Pa"
Then Jack doubles over and he vomits and dies
Going do-da-do
Going do-da-do
Going do-da-do
Going do-da-do
Oh yeah, Jangling Jack, do-da-do, do-da-do
Jangling Jack, how do you do-da-do?
Jangling Jack, how do you do-da-do?
Jangling Jack, how do you do-da-do?
