Jackie Jackson

Well Jackie Jackson was a greedy boy

That's right he liked to stuff his face

The thing that gave that boy the greatest joy

Was eating far too many cakes

And he ate one two three four

But Jackie wanted more

Five six seven eight

Jackie had another plate

And by the time he got to twenty

Anybody would of thought that he had plenty

By he had another eight

Which makes it twenty eight

So when he got to twenty eight

He stopped

He stopped eating cakes but only because he had run out of cakes

But Jackie Jackson was a greedy boy

Yes he said i've not had enough

I think that I could eat a thousand cakes

That I could eat a thousand more

Because, because I love the taste of tasty cakes

I think i'll find myself some more

And he did

He went down to the local shop where there were loads of cakes

Loads of cakes

So he ate one two three four five and six

Well Jackie was a little bit sick

And he didn't stop and he got to eight

And said I love the taste of cakes

I love the taste of cakes

I'll eat all day and I'll eat all night

And one two three four Jackie had a little bit more

And seventeen he said I need to eat until the shop is clean

And cakes and all the cakes pass through my mouth I munch them up and then i'll put the munched up cakes into my large expanding gut My large expanding gut

And he did, he ate thirty two cakes in that shop and he'd already eaten twenty eight cakes and twnety eight and thirty two that means he'd eaten sixty cakes

Well, do you think Jackie Jackson had eaten enough cakes

Well Jackie Jackson was a greedy boy

He said I'll never have enough

He ate ten twenty thirty forty, Jackie said he'd never thought he'd

Gotta eat so many tasty cakes and ate another eighty

Jackie gave a little moan and his stomach gave a little groan

Jackie yelled and cried oh no, I think my belly's overloaded, My belly's overloaded

BANG!

Jackie exploded

He'd eaten over two hundred, two hundred, two hundred cakes

He eaten over two hundred cakes and Jackie Jackson

...Well Jackie was dead
