Chorus
Jake, now don’t you miss it
Jake, go on and kiss it
Give it a knock and don’t you fake
Go on and give it a smack, crack
That’s a la-la-pa-loos-a
Run, you son of a gun
Run, you son of a gun
What’s that I hear the people shout?
You’re out
Jake, I lose my half a dollar
Poison you should swallow
Jake, Jake, you’re a regular fake
