Tra la la la, tra la la la, tra la la la
Tra la la la, tra la la la, tra la la la
Just walking along, tra la la la
Oh Jack, oh Jack, oh sweet baby Jack
Everything he writes down
Must have instant attack
Anything less would only make him crack
Any less would only make him crack
Only make him crack
Tra la la la, tra la la la
Borrow Burroughs
Tra la la la, tra la la la, tra la la la
Sit on Ginsberg, tra la la la
Oh Jack, oh Jack
Oh sweet baby Jack
47 years is enough time to live
Anything more would only make him crack
Anymore would
Only make him crack, crack, crack
Only make him crack
Tra la la la, tra la la la
Coney Island
Tra la la la, tra la la la, tra la la la
Sloppy sailers
Tra la la la
He better not hear
