Cracker Jack Kid
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If there's anything left you will need it now
So reach deep inside yourself
And show them all how
You can survive
And you knew it wasn't gonna be easy
So ease your hand
And take a long drive to unwind
The Cracker Jack Kid
You've got to search for the prize
And always remember
I. me. mine
And you the youngest
Fullest of heart
Yeah you the restless
You could never go to bed
Yeah you the speechless
You pretended that you could read
Until you were ten
The Cracker Jack Kid
You've got to search for the prize
And always remember
I. me. mine
The Cracker Jack Kid
You've got to search for the prize
And always remember
Jump jangle jiggle and rock
Fly through the sky
Sail across the top
Spin out. give out. give in
You're alive
Remember, memories
Don't hold you down
Some of them even make you
Laugh out loud
Yeah you are a smiling
Squinty eyed brow
You've got some kind of something happening
Inside you now
The Cracker Jack Kid
You've got to search for the prize
And always remember
I. me. mine
