Fat Jack<\/strong>
\nsung to the tune of “Tik Tok”<\/p>\n

(With apologies to Ke$ha, and all the party people…)<\/p>\n

Wake up in the morning feeling like H. Percy (Hey, what up, Hal),
\nPounding in my head is gonna show no mercy (Let\u2019s go).
\nBefore I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of sack,
\n\u2018Cause once I start to drink I have to keep up with Jack.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m talkin\u2019\u2026<\/p>\n

Hanging out with the boys (boys),
\nAt the inn the gang enjoys (joys),
\nScheming out all our ploys (ploys).<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t stop \u2018cause
\nGadshill\u2019s acting prickly,
\nAnd Bardolph\u2019s looking sickly,
\nTryna get to Mistress Quick-ly\u2026<\/p>\n

Sweet Ned, gone to bed,
\nOn the floor of the Boar\u2019s Head.
\nPoor Nym, look at him,
\nHe is filled up past the brim.
\nFat Jack, on his back,
\nAfter drinking too much sack.<\/p>\n

Oh-oh-whoa-oh
\nOh-oh-whoa-oh<\/p>\n

Sweet Ned, gone to bed
\nOn the floor of the Boar\u2019s Head
\nPoor Nym, look at him,
\nHe is filled up past the brim.
\nFat Jack, on his back
\nAfter drinking too much sack<\/p>\n

Oh-oh-whoa-oh
\nOh-oh-whoa-oh<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ain\u2019t got a care in the world,
\nBut got plenty of tales.
\nAin\u2019t got no money in my pocket,
\nBut I am Prince of Wales.<\/p>\n

And all the soldiers lining up,
\n\u2018Cause they know I have power,
\nBut we kick them to the curb,
\nUnless they fight like Glendower.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m talkin\u2019 \u2018bout \u2013 Falstaff playing my Dad (Dad),
\nThe best role he\u2019s ever had (had),
\nBut the ending is much too sad (sad).<\/p>\n

He said not to banish him ill (ill)
\nBut I said \u201cI do, I will.\u201d (will)
\nI said \u201cI do, I will.\u201d (will)
\nAnd he knows I will.<\/p>\n

Sweet Ned, gone to bed,
\nOn the floor of the Boar\u2019s Head.
\nPoor Nym, look at him,
\nHe is filled up past the brim.
\nFat Jack, on his back,
\nAfter drinking too much sack.<\/p>\n

Oh-oh-whoa-oh
\nOh-oh-whoa-oh<\/p>\n

Sweet Ned, gone to bed,
\nOn the floor of the Boar\u2019s Head.
\nPoor Nym, look at him,
\nHe is filled up past the brim.
\nFat Jack, on his back,
\nAfter drinking too much sack.<\/p>\n

Oh-oh-whoa-oh
\nOh-oh-whoa-oh<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I know you all,
\nAnd will uphold
\nYour idleness,
\n\u2018Till I am king.
\nWith my head up
\nI\u2019ll banish Jack,
\nAnd won\u2019t look back
\nWhen I am king.<\/p>\n

I know you all,
\nAnd will uphold
\nYour idleness,
\n\u2018Till I am king.
\nWith my head up.
\nWith my head up.
\nWith my head up.<\/p>\n

But the party will stop when I am king\u2026<\/p>\n

Sweet Ned, gone to bed,
\nOn the floor of the Boar\u2019s Head.
\nPoor Nym, look at him,
\nHe is filled up past the brim.
\nFat Jack, on his back,
\nAfter drinking too much sack.<\/p>\n

Oh-oh-whoa-oh
\nOh-oh-whoa-oh<\/p>\n
