Lyrics
Gather round, friends, pull up a chair I've got a tale that'll tickle the air Old Jack's woke with a grin so wide Said today I'll dance with the morning tide He grabbed his hat spun round the door Tripped on the cat, flat on the floor Yelled, hey now, hey now Up I go, up you go Oh, what a tumble, what a spin Life's a joke, let the laughter begin Clap your hands, stomp your feet In this merry mix-up we all meet Ha, ha, hey, don't you see The fun's in the fall, wild and free Wild and free Wild and free Wild and free Off to the fair, basket in hand Chased a loose chicken across the land It flapped and squawked, feathers flew high Jasper slipped again, waved bye-bye Run along, run along Feathers for all Oh, what a tumble, what a spin Life's a joke, let the laughter begin Clap your hands, stomp your feet In this merry mix-up we all meet Ha, ha, hey, don't you see The fun's in the fall, wild and free Wild and free Back home at dusk with a pie from the bait Dog snatched a bite, left Jax awake He chased a pup through the yard in the dark Boat tumbling over the fence What a lark, good boy Good boy, good boy Share the treat, share the treat Oh, what a tumble, what a spin Life's a joke, let the laughter begin Clap your hands, stomp your feet In this merry mix-up we all meet Ha, ha, hey, don't you see The fun's in the fall, wild and free So here's to Jasper Oh, our king of the spilton Our king of the spiltails Like his keep our hearts full Still so
