I once met this old wise man
G5
He invited me into his caravan
D5
We sat down for a cup of tea

He sat down very gingerly
D5
He said he's still got a sore back
G5                                 D5
From the time, on the roof with Jack

We were on the roof one day,
G5
when suddenly I heard Jack say
E5                    G5
"Look out for that crack!?
E5             G5            D5
Phewhack! I was lying on my back

D5
When I was just your age,
G5
I was already working
D5
For a shilling a day

It was just enough for mom to say

Pa would come home from work, and say 
G5               D5                    G5
"John, one day, you'll work with me down at the factory."
E5                G5              D5
But I don't wanna work in no factory
E5                        G5              D5
So I packed my bags and I headed for the tree.

I said very politely that I didn't want to work in no factory.

                      E5           G5
Pa said John you're a second-class citizen,
           D5                  G5
and you're never gonna get very far
       E5                           G5
I said Pa, I'm gonna see the world, I'm gonna see it all
          E5               G5        D5
I'm gonna be all that I can be, and more.

I won't be needing it any more
         E5                  G5        D5
Because I've see all I wanna see, and more.
