I met a small man his name was Jack
and he played his xylophone very slack
all his notes were bunched up in the key of D
with his mallets brand new with shiny beads

and he told me to watch yeah he told me to wait
like a lion in the grass ready to take
and all that happened was a bug flew in my eye
and he laughed and said you silly stupid guy

now hold on just a minute id like to say
do you realize your standing in a shuttle bay
we're leaving this rock today

I met a small man his name was Jack
and he played his xylophone very slack
all his notes were bunched up in the key of D
with his mallets brand new with shiny beads

running in space he took my hand
we started running inside a huge rubber band
and it all meshed together like piece of gak
and was spread across space
with a swift hard smack

in 10 minutes we were out in the Amazon
with photo albums of his real old decaying mom
telling stories of the way she used to bake
I didn't care I knew I had to leave that place

I met a small man his name was Jack
and he played his xylophone very slack
all his notes were bunched up in the key of D
with his mallets brand new with shiny beads

and he told me to watch yeah he told me to wait
like a lion in the grass ready to take
and all that happened was a bug flew in my eye
and he laughed and said you silly stupid guy

all his notes were bunched up in the key of D

he followed me into a large ravine
started yelling and making a big old scene
I turned around and asked, “Please go away
I need to get home before the end of today.”
