Jeri on a Stump
Car on a stump on a Monday morning Oh what a terrible sight to see Can't go forward and can't go back Open up the boot* and get out the jack Hi yo get out the jack Hey yo get out the jack Hi yo get out the jack Hey yo get out the jack
*regional variation: open up the trunk
Drove on the lawn and it looked quite smooth Hi yo get out the jack Got stuck on a stump and the car won't move Hi yo get out the jack Shellback men went to get some wood Hi yo… We said they couldn't but they said they could Hi yo…
Drove on the lawn and the car got stuck Hi yo get out the jack But we aint gonna call no breakdown truck Hi yo get out the jack Get out mechanical toys and stuff Hi yo get out the jack Will Mick be able to get me off? Hi yo get out the jack
Big Mick set to in front of us Hi yo… He didn't cry and he didn't fuss Hi yo… Laid on the ground with his bum in the air Hi yo… If Mick stays down we girls won't care… Hi yo……..
Took us the middle and the forenoon too Hi yo… With loadsa new songs from the Shellback crew Hi yo… Buzzards circling overhead Hi yo… Say Jeri shouldn't 'a bothered to get out of bed Hi yo…….
Communal writing effort- unless anyone wants to claim credit for individual bits? I noted down scraps and stuck it together.
Oh- all the suggestive bits about Mick were composed by Jeri :0)
