Peppermint Jack — текст песни (Arabesque)

<i>Chorus:
<b>Hey, Peppermint Jack
Hey, Peppermint Jack
Hey, Peppermint Jack
Your hair is gray
And your skin is black
Too old trey say
So you got the sack</b></i>

I recall that we used to buy
Pepperminds from a lovely guy
He had worked for Icecream Joe
Till he was told he had to go
He said to himself this wise old man:
<i>Ice is gonna melt but peppermint can`t</i>
So he said to us when we came to school:
<i>Only peppermint really keeps you cool
Only peppermint really keeps you cool</i>

<i>Chorus</i>

Then one day he didn`t appear
When we heard why, we were in tears
Poor old Jack, how little he earned
Went to the place of no return
With a piece of chalk we wrote on his stone:
<i>Ice is gonna melt, but peppermint won`t</i>
Never more we heard when we came to school:
<i>Only peppermint really keeps you cool
Only peppermint really keeps you cool</i>

<i>Chorus</i>

Peppermint, peppermint, peppermint Jack
Peppermint, peppermint, peppermint Jack
Peppermint, peppermint, peppermint Jack
