[00:20.82]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

[00:44.82]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.

[01:44.55]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
