Hey Jack, What's in the Sack? - Barry Louis Polisar

Hey Jack, what’s in the sack?

What’s in the sack

That you’re carrying on your back

Jack?

It bounces and it moves

I think that I can hear it talk

It makes you go so slowly

And stumble when you walk

I know they say that you’re deranged

And I think that it’s alive

I know that something’s very strange;

I think you have someone inside

Now I know I heard a voice

It sounded like a cry

I thought I heard a whimper

But I don’t want to pry

Its heavin' and it’s movin'

And it’s rollin' out the door

It’s little Billy Nicholson--

Say what’d you have him in there for?

Hey Jack, what’s in the sack?

What’s in the sack

That you’re carrying on your back

Jack?
