Crackerjack Jack fell through the cracks
down at the VA, ping pong, he would play
smiling the while, perfecting his style
shriveled and gaunt, by night and by day
to God does he pray, to take him away
Crackerjack Jack fell through the cracks
nevermore now, he doesn't know how
vacant and grey, to exit the fray
leaving no mark, eyes, simple and dark
the docs did disclaim, we're not to blame
As
Crackerjack Jack fell through the cracks
everyone knows
he ain't coming back

nevermore now, he doesn't know how
vacant and grey, to exit the fray
leaving no mark, eyes, simple and dark
the docs did disclaim, we're not to blame
As
Crackerjack Jack fell through the cracks
everyone knows
he ain't coming back
