Lyrics

THE GIGGLING DRAGON

 A large and jolly giant
who liked to joke and play
would jump around the countryside
as joyfully he'd say
"I am Jack the Giant and I am very kind
so I shall gently laugh and sing and
hope you do not mind
for though I am so very large,
you must not make a fuss,
and be it strange, I'll never change
for I'm not dangerous".

Well the people in the village
were very fond of Jack,
but often in his jumping 'round
he'd step upon a shack.
A cottage now and then would fall
and many times a bridge
and once he squashed a cabbage patch,
by leaping off a ridge.
Then the carriage of the mayor
was toppled to the ground
and dragons in the sky above
could feel his every bound.

 Now all his friends were angry
but Jack did not know why,
so he sat out on the edge of town
and there he began to cry.
"Can it be I am so huge
That people are afraid,
or maybe it's just the way I look
or something that I've said?"
Twas then a magic message
appeared before his eyes
and then a pidgeon gliding down
a princess in disguise.

"Jack you must not jump about"
he heard the stranger talk
"and do not run nor even hop,
for gentle giants walk"
So Jack returned a happy guy,
rejoicing as he go
and when he felt the urge to jump,
he'd stomp upon his toe
