Jack's Last Heist
Everyone remembers Jack
He had those magic beans
Again, they just told part of it
And it's nothing like it seems
The giant wasn't really a bad guy
But jack was truly a thief
He even worked for Robin Hood
Contrary to some's belief
He was raised in sherwood forest
Where they taught him how to steal
They even taught him how to swear
Against his mother's will
Anyway, back to that poor old giant
Jack had heard about an easy buck
Tho many had failed before him
He thought he'd try his luck
A golden goose with golden eggs
For him, was a really big score
He'd have to find someone to fence it
Or face the stockade once more
He was on parole and he wasn't going back
And vowed they'd never take him alive
He'd already planted those magic beans
And was waiting for his partners to arrive
Robin Hood was on vacation
Him and Marian had gone to the beach
But that would make his cut even bigger
With the Merry Men three eggs each
Jack didn't know this was his last heist
He finally made his way to the top
He soon found out they set him up
And the giant was an undercover cop
But Jack stayed true to his convictions
As he leaped to his certain death
The Merry Men all watched in horror
As he drew his final breath
Well, the giant cut down that beanstalk
And the case was finally closed
The crime wave fell fifty percent
And the Merry Men gang was exposed
