ah the great denver - he was a heart stopper ; tear dropper sorta guy ; read bits of his life story once lots of sad bits in that too
This one got to me today.
This one still gets to me after all the years since it was first aired.
Counts the days into years
Yes 82 brings many fears
Yesterdayâs laughter turns to tears
His arms, his legs donât feel so strong
His heart is weak thereâs something wrong
Opens windows in despair
Trying to breath in some fresh air
His conscience cries âget on your feetâ
âWithout you Jack the town cant eatâ
Grocer Jack grocer Jack get off your back
Go into town donât let them down
Oh no no
Grocer Jack grocer Jack get off your back
Go into town donât let them down
Oh no no
The people that live in the town
Donât understand
Heâs never been known to miss his round
Its 10 oâclock the housewifeâs yell
When Jack turns up weâll give him hell
Husbands moan at breakfast tables
No milk no eggs no marmalade labels
Mothers send the children out to Jacks house
To scream and shout
Grocer Jack grocer Jack get off your back
Come into town donât let us down
Oh no no
Grocer Jack grocer Jack get off your back
Come into town donât let us down
Oh no no
Its Sunday morning bright and clear
Lovely flowers decorate a marble square
People cry and walk away
Think about the fateful day
Now they wish theyâd given Jack
More affection and respect
The little children dressed in black
Donât know whatâs happened to old Jack
Grocer Jack grocer Jack
Is it true what mummy says
You wont come back
Oh no no
