Please Jack

John D. Loudermilk


The other day a friend of mine looked me straight in the eye
And said he was going to devote the rest of his life to making a billion bucks
So I wrote this poem especially for him in hopes he'll change his mind

You got it all figured out eh Jack a billion bucks you're gonna make right
And then you say you're gonna give it all away and then what
After you've got the big house the big car
The swimming pool the motorcycles the boats after the airplanes
After all these things then what Jack

You got it all figured out you say you're gonna give it all away
And move to the woods and live simply like other normal human beings
And all you want from there on out is just enough to get by on
Well take a tip from all the great minds that ever thought and wrote it down Jack
Skip the billion dollar bill Son and do the woods thing
Don't waste your time Jack do the woods thing now
Please Jack please Jack please
