Текст песни Peppermint Jack, Arabesque

Chorus:
Hey, Peppermint Jack
Hey, Peppermint Jack
Hey, Peppermint Jack
Your hair is gray
And your skin is black
Too old trey say
So you got the sack

I recall that we used to buy
Pepperminds from a lovely guy
He had worked for Icecream Joe
Till he was told he had to go
He said to himself this wise old man:
"Ice is gonna melt but peppermint can t"
So he said to us when we came to school:
"Only peppermint really keeps you cool"
"Only peppermint really keeps you cool"

Chorus

Then one day he didn t appear
When we heard why, we were in tears
Poor old Jack, how little he earned
Went to the place of no return
With a piece of chalk we wrote on his stone:
"Ice is gonna melt, but peppermint won t"
Never more we heard when we came to school:
"Only peppermint really keeps you cool"
"Only peppermint really keeps you cool"

Chorus

Peppermint, peppermint, peppermint Jack
Peppermint, peppermint, peppermint Jack
Peppermint, peppermint, peppermint Jack
