Jackanory Stories Lyrics

jackanory jackanory jackanory

jackanory stories, settle down and we'll begin
now we're up to page nineteen and it looks like the indians will win
but just like life there's a good beginning but there is no middle
so you may as well skip to the end
it's the same old story
and i've heard that story a thousand times before

read a book at bedtime to help you off to sleep
i've found i get the same effect from fixing on reality
it's just like life there's a good beginning but there is no middle
so you may as well skip to the end
it's the same old story
and i've heard that story a thousand times before

jackanory stories

sit amongst the bowler hats and make your crossword last
travel intercity, get nowhere twice as fast
just like life there's a good beginning but there is no middle
so you may as well skip to the end
it's the same old story
and i've heard that story a thousand times before
