Arabesque - Peppermint Jack

*Hey Peppermint Jack

Hey Peppermint Jack

Hey Peppermint Jack

Your hair is grey

And your skin is black

Too old trey say

So you got the sack



I recall that we used to buy

Peppermint from a lovely guy

He had worked for ice-cream Joe

Till he was told he had to go

He said to himself this wise old man,

* Ice is gonna melt but peppermint can't

So he said to us when we came to school:

"Only peppermint really keeps you cool'

"Only peppermint really keeps you cool'



* (повтор)



Then one day he didn't appear

When we heard why, we were in tears

Pool old Jack, how little he earned

Went to the place of no return

With a piece of chalk we wrote on his stone

"Ice is gonna melt but peppermint won't"

Never morewe heard when we came to school:

"Only peppermint really keeps you cool"

"Only peppermint realty keeps you cool"
