27 Jun 01 - 05:54 PM (#493399) Subject: Greta Garbo Home Help From: chordstrangler Hi all...Hope you might be able to help. A good friend of mine is looking for the lyrics of a song which he sings with his kids in the car and the lack of words is leading to extreme domestic discord. He thinks that the song might have been a hit sometime in the sixties or thereabouts. Again he might be wrong. Anyway the lyrics go something like....
My Name is Jack, Are there any other sad creatures out there who might remember this ? If so, help me put him out of his misery. Thanks all.. M. |

MY NAME IS JACK Manfred Mann; 1968; 2:49 My name is Jack and I live in the back of the Greta Garbo Home With friends I will remember Wherever I may roam (Chorus:) And my name's Jack and I live in the back of the Greta Garbo Home for Wayward Boys and Girls (Group:) We all love Jack and we live in the back of the Greta Garbo Home for Wayward Boys and Girls (Whistling) There goes Fred with his hands on his head 'cause he thinks he's heard the bomb And here comes Superman who really puts it on! It's lots of fun and I love to run Up and down the stairs I make as much noise as I want And no one ever cares. (Chorus) There's Carl over there with his funny old hair And he's never sad at all And when I grow up I want to run As fast as my friend Paul There's the prettiest girl in the whole wide world And her name is Melody Menn And here comes Ma with Brother Tom Who's prob'ly my best friend! (Chorus) (Various overlapping lines from the chorus, to fade) Tab here |
