Spring Heeled Jack

[00:12.39] Upward he shoots
[00:13.79] By the springs on his boots
[00:16.24] Like an inverted angel
[00:19.07] We've been afraid of this terrible
[00:23.04] Strange, elusive monster for years

[00:28.11] It seems to be superstitious lunacy
[00:35.26] But in fact when things go black
[00:39.57] Old Spring Heeled Jack appears

[00:44.58] I hear the sound
[00:46.18] Of him bounding around
[00:48.73] On the rooftops of London
[00:51.37] Leaving the people bewildered and stunned
[00:55.93] And, on occasion, aflame

[01:00.06] No sooner than unsuspecting Englishmen
[01:07.69] Turn their backs, the wretch attacks
[01:11.82] And Spring Heeled Jack's his name
[01:15.64] I doubt that it's those clever brats in college
[01:19.10] And the Marquess of Waterford denies all knowledge
[01:23.43] And people in the area reek of mass hysteria
[01:28.54] But, admit you must, that it is just enough to scare you
[01:32.66] And you scream when he draws
[01:34.95] Out a handful of claws
[01:37.31] And a blue breath of fire
[01:40.27] Then disappears leaping higher and higher
[01:44.54] As if lighter than air

[01:48.91] Time marches on
[01:51.46] Now it seems as though he's gone
[01:56.14] This day lacks tales of his acts
[02:00.51] But don't relax
[02:02.82] For Spring Heeled Jack's still there
[02:06.62]
