Jack in the Green, PART13

Part 13 of Jack in the Green,

Once the parade made it to the top of the hill, Jack was lifted upon the stage by the bogies. “What shall we do with Jack in the green? “, the bogies asked the excited crowd. “Slay him, Slay him!”, the crowd chanted. The bogies started to strike Jack in the green with large sticks. Thousands of ivy leaves started to fly up in the air and over the cheerful crowd. Every single person got hold of precisely one leaf. Spring made her appearance and told the good folk of Hastings, “This single leaf you are holding will protect you and bring you luck”. She added “Those who were greedy and have kept more than one leaf, will get the same as Jack and will turn into a walking talking bush until next year and have to wait to be slain”. Luckily no-one had grabbed more than one leaf and if they did, they would pass it on to someone else who hadn’t caught one. Giving them even more luck for the year. So spring was very happy indeed and kept her promise. Jack was left unharmed and again he was the young man his parents were so proud of. His mother said “You might not have noticed Jack, but you are still completely naked. Good job I brought one of your pants”. The crowd all laughed and Jack just giggled shyly. Spring made sure Jack’s mum wonfirst prize with this year’s garland contest. After all, the crown she had made was the most beautiful one she had ever seen. And Jack’s dad started receiving loads and loads of orders to sweep people’s chimneys. Their business was booming again and it never been so busy. They made so much money that year, including the prize money they had won. They could finally afford to get everything fixed in their cottage, including Jack’s bedroom curtains! And now that this story is coming to an end... The good people of Hastings traditionally celebrate their Jack in the green at the beginning of May each year. Keeping the story alive.

Sing-a-long with song 'Get in your pants, Jack old boy':

(Verse 1)

Jack in the green, feeling giggly and shy,

Standing nude in front of the crowd, oh my!

The villagers cheer, with laughter and glee,

As Jack tries to hide, behind a big tree.

(Chorus)

Get in your pants, Jack old boy,

Hide that bottom for everyone to see.

Get in your pants, Jack old boy,

Oh, what a funny sight, you must agree.

(Verse 2)

His mum brought him pants, but they were too tight,

Jack struggled and wriggled with all his might.

He tried to pull them up, but they wouldn't go,

His cheeky bottom made it quite a show.

(Chorus)

Get in your pants, Jack old boy,

Hide that bottom for everyone to see.

Get in your pants, Jack old boy,

Oh, what a funny sight, you must agree.

(Bridge)

Joyce his girlfriend, with a giggle and a grin,

Watching Jack's antics, as he tried to fit in.

She cheered him on, with a playful shout,

"Come on, Jack, you can figure it out!"

(Repeat Chorus)

(Verse 3)

He tried to use a rope, to pull them up high,

But the pants got stuck, oh what a try!

He even tried butter, to slide them on,

But Jack's cheeky bottom just wouldn't be gone.

(Chorus)

Get in your pants, Jack old boy,

Hide that bottom for everyone to see.

Get in your pants, Jack old boy,

Oh, what a funny sight, you must agree.

(Outro)

So Jack in the green, with a laugh and a cheer,

Finally got his pants on, and the crowd did cheer.

With Joyce by his side, and a smile so bright,

Jack in the green, was a funny sight.

(Repeat Chorus)
