Jack's Beanstalk

Jack’s Beanstalk

Shirley Jackson @ socan Dec. 2008

Everybody’s climbing some Beanstalk
That’s the way Jack’s story goes
What did they do to get to the top
Only their conscious knows

Now everybody’s climbing some ladder
Just to see what they can get
Was it hard work or dedication
Or did they sleep with anyone yet?

Everybody’s stepping on someone
To see how high they can go
They’ll be kissing some **** on their way down
If they step on to many toes

If you can’t go no further
When you think you have it all
And there’s nothing left to work for
Hold on tight when you make that fall

If you can’t go no higher
And you think you’ve reached the top
And there’s nothing left to work for
Hold on tight …
Hold on tight while you make that drop
