Gypsy Rock

Now, Jack was working on the farm one evening in July
When all at once, a gypsy girl came gaily tripping by
She smiled as she went running barefoot through his cabbage patch
Her hair was long and black, and she had fingernails to match
Oh, let us play of hide-and-seek, the gypsy gaily cried
Now close your eyes and count to twenty while I go and hide
And if you catch me, I will let you steal a kiss from me
And if you can not find me, I'll be right behind that tree

He caught her, then he kissed her hand, oh, he was very keen
It was eleven inches long, the biggest hand he'd seen
And as he kissed that hand, a thought into his mind was put
If that hand had been one inch longer, he'd have kissed a foot
He asked her what her lips were for, as they sat by a hedge
She said, they're there to stop my mouth from frayin' 'round the edge
I want you for my wife, he begged as eager as could be
She said: Now, don't be silly, what would your wife do with me?

The day they wed, Jack said: I am the happiest man on earth
The preacher said: Well, pay me then, and give me what she's worth
Oh, jackie gave him half a crown
The preacher looked at Jack
And then he saw his bride-to-be and gave him nine pence back
Oh, Jack went off a-roaming soon after they were wed
But his wife, she got so lonesome, and she went around with fred
Oh, jackie got to hear of this and said: It's time I stopped her
So he flew home by airplane and by helicopter
