I once met this old wise man
C
He invited me into his caravan
C
We sat down for a cup of tea
C
He sat down very gingerly
C
He said he's still got a sore back
C                                 C
From the time, on the roof with Jack
C

C
We were on the roof one day,
C
when suddenly I heard Jack say
Am                    C
"Look out for that crack!�
Am             C            C
Phewhack! I was lying on my back

C
When I was just your age,
C
I was already working
C
For a shilling a day
C
It was just enough for mom to say
Am           C              C
Ohhhh Johnny you make me so proud!
C

         C
Pa would come home from work, and say 
C               C                    C
"John, one day, you'll work with me down at the factory."
Am                C              C
But I don't wanna work in no factory
Am                        C              C
So I packed my bags and I headed for the tree.
C

C                             C
I was only away from home for about an hour
C                          C
But i was home in time for tea
C                         C                C              C
I said very politely that I didn't want to work in no factory.

                      Am           C
Pa said John you're a second-class citizen,
           C                  C
and you're never gonna get very far
       Am                           C
I said Pa, I'm gonna see the world, I'm gonna see it all
          Am               C        C
I'm gonna be all that I can be, and more.
C

      C                        C                        C                  C
Daddy finished his cup of tea, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a key
        C
He said you can have my old caravan,
    C                   Am         C
I won't be needing it any more
         Am                  C        C
Because I've see all I wanna see, and more.
