Mad Jack - Baker Gurvitz Army

Now this is a story I swear it’s true

All about Mad Jack and Argungu Mad Jack was nobody’s fool

Sittin' in back keepin' cool

The kids ran out as Jack passed by

Throwin' mints with a twinkle in his eye (Chorus:)Keep on truckin',

ridin' on thru

Keep on Heading-Argungu

Kept his wheels an' he kept his head

Kept his tiger, black, white and red

Black, white and red, that’s what I said

He kept his tiger, black, white and red The crowds all cheered at his strange

machine

Flashing thru the bush with his racing team

With his map and his tiger in the back

Argungu Jack was the first one back (Chorus) Now I’ll tell the tale it really

is true

All about Mad Jack and Argungu

Four days, three nights thru bush and trees

Boulders and rocks, Mad Jack and his crew

Beat the lot to Argungu The Flying Dutchman, the Flying Scot

And Snob Goblin eighteen tried all they’d got

Making way for no one, they just had to win

To beat Mad Jack, his friends and crew

And be the first to Argungu Thirteen vehicles died the very first day

And a poor old donkey flew away

And an eagle and umpteen goats

And various quadrupeds met their match

Meeting man-made metal monsters

It just didn’t do

They couldn’t beat Jack to Argungu Bomber Bombadini went backwards up a tree

How he got there it’s a mystery to me

The Flying Dutchman, the Scot and eighteen

Got stuck in the sand and when they got free

Went three ways thru a village

Chasing me to Argungu Thru the hot hazy Hamatan

And the cold windy nights

The remaining few madmen blazed their lights

And I lost a wheel I would’ve won, too

But where others had failed Mad Jack he came thru

He kept his wheels and he kept his head

And he kept his tiger, black, white and red

And to my great surprise Mad Jack and his crew

Took the prize at Argungu The tiger as it happens

Was a lion
