Part 3 of Jack in the Green,
So Jack got out of bed, stretched his arms wide above his head and gave a big final yawn for the day. He walked towards his curtains and opened them. “Look mum”, Jack said, “the sun has announced that spring has arrived. Soon it will be mayday and I am determined to win this year’s contest for the most beautiful garland, if not the longest! The prize money would surely help us to fix everything that needs fixing. Including our scruffy old curtains.” After Jack had fed their animals he joined his parents for some breakfast. Jack asked them if they would help him with gather all the new spring flowers and ivy they could find. Over the next couple of weeks, Jack and his dad went searching far and wide. It didn’t take long before the glass fruit bowl was overflowing. So they used the small side cupboard instead, to find out that was overflowing. So everything was moved into the big wardrobe. When that was full, they finally moved all the flowers and ivy into Jack’s bedroom. Leaving just a little space in the middle and his bed to sleep in.
Sing-a-long with the song 'Oh, Jack's world is blooming':
(Verse 1)
In Jack's kitchen, there's a fruit bowl so bright,
But it's overflowing with flowers, what a sight!
Apples and oranges, hidden beneath,
Petals and blossoms, a colorful wreath.
(Chorus)
Oh, Jack's world is blooming, everywhere you see,
Flowers and ivy, as far as can be.
From the fruit bowl to the cupboard, and the wardrobe too,
Jack's room is a garden, with just a bed in view.
(Verse 2)
In the corner of the kitchen, there's a cupboard so small,
But it's overflowing with ivy, climbing up the wall.
Leaves and tendrils, reaching for the sky,
Jack just laughs as they grow so high.
(Chorus)
Oh, Jack's world is blooming, everywhere you see,
Flowers and ivy, as far as can be.
From the fruit bowl to the cupboard, and the wardrobe too,
Jack's room is a garden, with just a bed in view.
(Verse 3)
In Jack's bedroom, there's a wardrobe so grand,
But it's overflowing with flowers, like a magical land.
Roses and daisies, bursting out the door,
Jack can't find his clothes anymore!
(Chorus)
Oh, Jack's world is blooming, everywhere you see,
Flowers and ivy, as far as can be.
From the fruit bowl to the cupboard, and the wardrobe too,
Jack's room is a garden, with just a bed in view.
(Bridge)
Jack's room is a jungle, with flowers and vines,
But he loves the beauty, and he doesn't mind.
With a little space left, for his bed to sleep,
Jack dreams of gardens, in slumber so deep.
(Chorus)
Oh, Jack's world is blooming, everywhere you see,
Flowers and ivy, as far as can be.
From the fruit bowl to the cupboard, and the wardrobe too,
Jack's room is a garden, with just a bed in view.
(Outro)
So if you visit Jack, be ready for a surprise,
A house full of flowers, right before your eyes.
With laughter and joy, Jack's world is so sweet,
A blooming paradise, from his head to his feet.
