Hey Jack, What's in the Sack? - Barry Louis Polisar

Hey Jack, what's in the sack?

What's in the sack

That you're carrying on your back,

Jack?

It bounces and it moves,

I think that I can hear it talk

it makes you go so slowly

And stumble when you walk.

I know they say that you're deranged

And I think that it's alive

I know that something's very strange;

I think you have someone inside.

Now I know I heard a voice,

It sounded like a cry.

I thought I heard a whimper

But I don't want to pry

Its heavin' and it's movin'

And it's rollin' out the door

It's little Billy Nicholson--

Say what'd you have him in there for?

Hey Jack, what's in the sack?

What's in the sack

That you're carrying on your back,

Jack?
