01 Nov 06 - 06:34 PM (#1874244) Subject: Lyr Add: JUMPING JACK (Eric Holt) From: Mark Dowding This is a poem by Eric Holt and has been performed with two different tunes by the Oldham Tinkers and Harry Boardman JUMPING JACK (Eric Holt) Watch him go yon gradely prancer Tapping toes and clacking heels Jumping Jack, he's t' best clog dancer E'er stepped out wi jigs and reels Twisting turning pointing prancing Whilst t'owd fiddle sings away Leeter than a feather dancing On a breeze i' t' month o' May Watch yon childer clap together Keeping time to t' click and clack Summer, Winter, ony weather They come out for Jumping Jack Carnivals can't do wi'out 'im Churches want him for t' bazaars Ower sixties wain't be bowt him Sooner him than telly stars Pair on Pair of clogs he's battered Still his pins are straight and true As on t' day when first he clattered In new clogs when he were two Jack lad keep thi toes i' fettle Make our spirits gay and leet Though thi clogs are shod wi' iron We find gowd i' them two feet Cheers Mark |
