The Sprats
(The BummKinn Band)
Jack Sprat could eat no fat
His wife could eat no lean
Together they kept the family fed and licked the platter clean
Their son John was keen at bat
As a pitcher not so great’
His friend Mike had a mighty fine arm
As a team they were first rate
Where Jack is weak wife is might
Where wife is blind Jack is her sight
He holds her left hand and she his right
And so they sleep through the night
So they sleep through the night
Wife baked tasty pastry
Jack painted beautiful art
Her pastry pleases your belly
His art speaks to your heart
Together they started a business
In a town down on the strand
People come to buy Jack’s art
With a tasty pastry in hand
Where Jack is weak wife is might
Where wife is blind Jack is her sight
He holds her left hand and she his right
And so they sleep through the night
So they sleep through the night
Wife grows a garden
Jack helps move and build
He built her a greenhouse
She keeps it lovingly filled
Jack loves cooking breakfast’
Wife’s a dinner gourmet
Together they make a really great team
And johnny makes sure they play
Where Jack is weak wife is might
Where wife is blind Jack is her sight
He holds her left hand and she his right
And so they sleep through the night
So they sleep through the night
