[Verse 1]
My name is Jack and I live in the back
Of the Greta Garbo Home
With friends I will remember
Wherever I may roam
[Chorus]
And my name's Jack and I live in the back
Of the Greta Garbo Home for Wayward Boys and Girls
We all love Jack and we live in the back
Of the Greta Garbo Home for Wayward Boys and Girls
[Verse 2]
There goes Fred with his hands on his head
'Cause he thinks he's heard the bomb
And here comes Superman
Who really puts it on
It's lots of fun and I love to run
Up and down the stairs
I make as much noise as I want
And no one ever cares
(No one ever, ever, ever cares)
[Chorus]
And my name's Jack and I live in the back
Of the Greta Garbo Home for Wayward Boys and Girls
We all love Jack and we live in the back
Of the Greta Garbo Home for Wayward Boys and Girls
[Verse 3]
There's Carl over there with his funny old hair
And he's never sad at all
And when I grow up, I want to run
As fast as my friend Paul
There's the prettiest girl in the whole wide world
And her name is Melody Mend
And here comes Ma with brother Tom
Who's probably my best friend
(Well, Tom is my best friend) My best friend
(Well, Tom is my best friend)
[Chorus]
And my name's Jack and I live in the back
Of the Greta Garbo Home for Wayward Boys and Girls
We all love Jack and we live in the back
Of the Greta Garbo Home for Wayward Boys and Girls
[Alt. Chorus]
My name is Jack and I live in the back
Of the Greta Garbo Home (We all love Jack)
And I live in the back (And we live in the back)
In the back of the Greta Garbo Home
For Wayward Boys and Girls
My name is Jack (We all love Jack)
And I live in the back (And we live in the back)
In the back of the Greta Garbo Home
For Wayward Boys and Girls
[Outro]
My name is Jack
And I live in the back
My name is Jack...
