Hi Jack.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chorus
'Hi Jack' the navigator greeted me,
'Hi Jack' the pilot said the same,
'Hi jack' - the friendly way they treated me,
J simply couldn't wait to get aboard that plane.

London to Glasgow isn't very far at all,
But I was in a hurry, I decided I would fly,
But from the very moment I got into the booking hall
The only thing that I could hear was 'Hi'.

'I hope' says I to a lady in a mackintosh
'When we get to Glasgow the weather isn't bleak.
Says she 'Have a word with the long range weatherman,
You won't be seeing Glasgow any time this week.' She says:

'Hi jack, we're turning left at Birmingham.
Hi jack. 'She was speaking very plain.
'Sorry' says she 'if it causes any bother,
But I have a date in Cuba with the sugar cane.'

Fidel Castro met us in Havana,
Fidel couldn't have been nicer to a toff.
Rum and coffee and a lovely big banana,
Then quick as a flick he gave us a kick and says 'Buzz off.'

'Right' says the pilot, 'we're on our way to Glasgow,
By this evening you'll be sitting in your home.'
But these kind words were quickly contradicted
By a North American gent with a home-made bomb.

Hi jack, we landed in Miami,
I could hear Sammy Davis Jr sing.
Hi jack, we took aboard a laundryman,
But he could only say 'Hi Jack Peking.'

From Peking we travelled on to Moscow
At the request of a commissar .
There we met a little Orangeman
Who wanted to go to Belfast but he had no car.

From Belfast we then moved on to Dublin,
We arrived there just the other day.
Now they've told us they're sending us to Israel
Unless we sign as members of the IRA.
