 This is the house that Jack built, y'all
 Remember this house!
 This was the land that he worked by hand
 It was the dream of an upright man
 This was the room that was filled with love
 It was a love that he was proud of
 This was a life of a love he planned
 Of a love and a life we loved
 In the house that Jack built.
 (the house that Jack built)
 Remember this house!
 There was the fence that held our love (yes it was),
 There was the gate that he walked out of
 This is the heart that is turned to stone (yes it is)
 This was the house, but it ain't no home
 This is the love that I once had
 In a dream that I thought was love,
 In the house that Jack built (the house that Jack built),
 I'm gonn' remember this house!
 Oh-ohh wha-a-at's the use of crying?
 'Cause I brought it on myself
 There's no denying
 But it see-e-ee-ems awful funny
 That I didn't understand
 Was it a house of an upright man
 Up on the hill
 There's a big plan still
 In the house that Jack built
 (the house that Jack built)
 I'm gonn' remember this house
 (the house that Jack built)
 Listen!
 I got the house
 I got the car
 I got the rug
 And I got the rack
 But I ain't got Jack (Jack)
 (I ain't got Jack, Jack)
 And I want my Jack back!
 I turned my back on Jack
 He said he wasn't coming back
 I turned my back on Jack
 he said he wasn't coming back
 Ohhh, Jack
 Ohh! Come on back
 Ohh Jack
 Oh come on back
 He wanted to use me
 I didn't understand
 I said, I want my upright man
