Jack's gotta wait
gotta go do the dishes
there's mushrooms in the sink
gotta go do the laundry too
it's unbearable the stink
gotta pay phone tv and internet bills
before they cut me off o'those things
but jeez my mind is flyin' again
gotta clip its' little wings
before it's too late can't fly at all
and I'll be stuck in a little box too small
recording 'Jack''s music will have to wait
got other things to do ...for at least four hours straight

'Jack The Donkey'
i am not stubborn
and surely not a fool
just want my things my way
because they're all so cool
if you close one eye you'll see
just by winkin' at me
a donkey an' a monkey
a friendship too maybe...
i'm surely not lazy
i'm always at work
i'm selfemployed you see
so my boss can't be a jerk
if you close one eye you'll see
just by winkin' at me
a donkey an' a monkey
a friendship too maybe...
ééh-ààh-hiii'm a donkey
you may call me jack
and i am also called
an ass behind my back
coz when i look at you
don't know what to do
for i am a donkey
and you look like are a monkey
both living
in a zoooo
i don 't need a mirror
to tell me who i am
i know i'm not a monkey
so i don't give a damn
i close my eyes and see
if you wink at me
a donkey an' a monkey
a friendship too maybe...
ééh-ààh-hiii'm a donkey
you may call me jack
and i am also called
an ass behind my back
coz when i look at you
don't know what to do
for i am a donkey
and you look like are a monkey
both living
in a zoooo
my wife her name is Jenny
and never i feel blue
'coz most of her girlfriends
are jolly jennies too
so close your eyes and see
don't try to wink at me
a donkey an' a monkey
a friendship too maybe...
ééh-ààh-hiii'm a donkey
you may call me jack
and i am also called
an ass behind my back
coz when i look at you
don't know what to do
for i am a donkey
and you look like are a monkey
both living
in a zoooo
i hope that once you'll know me
you'll treat me with respect
for never in my life
respect í would neglect
so close your eyes and see
if you open an eye at me
a donkey an' a monkey
a friendship too maybe...
ééh-ààh-hiii'm a donkey
you may call me jack
and i am also called
an ass behind my back
coz when i look at you
don't know what to do
for i am a donkey
and you look like are a monkey
both living
in this zoooo
if ever you pretend
that we are not the same
a monkey you'd still be
and ass would be your name
open up your eyes and see
in the mirror that is me
a donkey an' a monkey
a friendship too maybe...
ééh-ààh-hiii'm a donkey
you may call me jack
and i am also called
an ass behind my back
coz when i look at you
don't know what to do
for i am a donkey
and you look like are a monkey
both living
in our zoooo ...
[all donkeys together]
ééh-ààh-weee are a donkey
and you may call him jack
he is also called
an ass behind his back
and when we look at you
we don't know what to do
for we are a donkey
and you look like are a monkey
both living
in a zoooo-hoooo-hoooo
