Jill’s Jack in the Box

Hank Thompson, Paul Gailey

[Verse 1]
I guess I'm just Jill's jack-in-the-box her puppet on a string
All she does is touch my heart and I pop out and sing
With painted nose and button clothes she treats me like a clown
I'm just Jill's joyful jester lots of fun to have around

[Chorus]
I wish I was her shiny prince instead of her buffoon
Then I could sing her love songs and not some silly tune
I know she doesn't really care that I love her like I do
But I'll still be Jill's jack-in-the-box as long as she wants me to

[Verse 2]
And then Jill puts me back in the box just like a boresomе toy
But when she snaps her fingеrs I come leaping out with joy
She's cast me in the role of a fool it's not what I prefer
I know I'm just Jill's jack-in-the-box but at least I'm close to her

[Chorus]
I wish I was her shiny prince instead of her buffoon
Then I could sing her love songs and not some silly tune
I know she doesn't really care that I love her like I do
But I'll still be Jill's jack-in-the-box as long as she wants me to
I'll still be Jill's jack-in-the-box as long as she wants me to
