riff 1

Who's the fool with the cross-eyed stare,

Who's that dumb-looking freckle-faced runt?

F

Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.

F

He walks like his feet are on back to front,

F

Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.





Bb

When he waddles down the street he looks kind of queer,

Bb

Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce,

F

Because he's got two left feet and taxi-door ears,

F

Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.





Am                               Dm

And when we laugh at the clothes he wears,

Am                    Bb       C 

Jack just smiles 'cos he don't care.

Bb C             Bb C

Who's that fool? Who's that ninny?

Bb C             Bb C

Who's that twit? Who's that chump?

C Bb C           C Bb C

The Idiot Dunce, the Idiot Dunce.

Who is always the bottom of the class?

F

Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.

Who's a fool? Who's a boob?

F

Who's a kook and an ass?

F

Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.





Bb

When we take examinations he never gets a pass,

Bb

Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.

F

And we all put him down 'cos he can't think fast,

F

Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.

Am                            Dm

We ridicule him and punch him around,

Am                       Bb C  Bb C Bb C  Bb C

But Jack just laughs and stands his ground,

C Bb C          C Bb C          riff 1''(A A# B C)

The Idiot Dunce, the Idiot Dunce.





C

Yeah, he's so unco-ordinated.

F

Yeah, and so disorientated,

C

And when we have a High School Hop

F

You ought to see that idiot bop

Bb B C               C#

And his arms and his legs

        Dm            G

Seem to have minds of their own,

F

And you don't need brains



To have educated muscles and bones.





C

Yeah, you ought to see him dance

F

He moves like he's in a trance,

C

And when we have a High School Hop

F

You ought to see that idiot rock,

Bb  B    C       C#   

And he's finally proved

                      Dm

That you don't need a high I.Q.

                  G

To make your body move.

F

Now he's created a dance that everybody's trying to do.



Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.





C

Do the Idiot Dunce.

F

All right put your finger on your nose,

C

Now cross those eyes.



Put your hands on your hips,

F

Now wriggle your backside.

Bb         B       C

Now you've got the knack

                C#

To do the Idiot Jack

          Dm                       G

>From your head to the tips of your toes.





F

Now the whole world's doing it and everybody knows,



Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.

F

He's a real cool cat and a real gone groove,



Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.





Bb 

And the girls go crazy when he starts to move,

Bb

Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce

F

Now Jack's a success he's got nothing to prove,

F

Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.



Am          Dm

Even though Jack is dim

Am               Bb       C

His mother is so proud of him.

Bb C                   Bb C

Hey, who's that groovy looking dude

Bb C                 Bb C

Dancing with all the chicks?

C Bb C         C Bb C

The Idiot Dunce, the Idiot Dunce.
