Jack the Giant (The Soft G and J Sounds)

A large and jolly giant

Who liked to joke and play

Would jump around the countryside

As joyfully he'd say

"I am Jack the Giant

And I am very kind

So I shall gently laugh and sing

And hope you do not mind

For though I am so very large

You must not make a fuss

And be it strange, I'll never change

For I'm not dangerous"

Well, the people in the village

Were very fond of Jack

But often in his jumping 'round

He'd step upon a shack

A cottage now and then would fall

And many times a bridge

And once he squashed a cabbage patch

By leaping off a ridge

And then the carriage of the Mayor

Was toppled to the ground

And angels in the sky above

Could feel his every bound

Now all his friends were angry

Yet Jack did not know why

So he set out on the edge of town

And there began to cry

Can it be I am so huge

That people are afraid

Or maybe just the way I look

Or something that I've said

'Twas then a magic message

Appeared before his eyes

And then a pigeon gliding down

An angel in disguise

"Jack, you must not jump about"

He heard the stranger talk

"And do not run, nor even hop

For gentle giants walk"

So Jack returned a happy guy

Rejoicing as he go

And when he felt the urge to jump

He'd stomp upon his toe

He had to stomp upon his toe

Yes, he would, he'd stomp upon his toe
