Jackanory Stories

[Intro]
Jackanory, Jackanory, Jackanory

[Verse 1]
Jackanory stories, settle down and we'll begin
Now we're up to page nineteen and it looks like the Indians will win
But just like life there's a good beginning but there is no middle
So you may as well skip to the end

[Chorus]
It's the same old story
And I've heard that story a thousand times before

[Verse 2]
Read a book at bedtime to help you off to sleep
I've found I get the same effect from fixing on reality

[Pre-Chorus]
It's just like life there's a good beginning but there is no middle
So you may as well skip to the end

[Chorus]
It's the same old story
It's the same old story
And I've heard that story a thousand times before

[Refrain]
Jackanory stories, Jackanory stories, Jackanory stories
Jackanory stories, Jackanory stories, Jackanory stories
Jackanory stories, Jackanory stories

[Verse 3]
Sit amongst the bowler hats and make your crossword last
Travel intercity, get nowhere twice as fast

[Pre-Chorus]
Just like life there's a good beginning but there is no middle
So you may as well skip to the end

[Chorus]
It's the same old story
It's the same old story
And I've heard that story a thousand times before

[Refrain]

[Outro]
Anory stories, Jackanory stories, Jackanory stories
