Jolly Jack-o’-Lantern, you’ve seen me before;
I stand on the lamp post, or grin on the gate,
On Hallowe’en night you dare not be late.
See my big mouth and shining eyes,
I’m bound to give you a surprise.
Jack Tar:
They say, “Who is this fellow? see how he dances,
Lightly retreats, and lightly advances”;
Who else is coming? around him he glances,
Jolly Jack Tar, the hornpipe he dances!
