Lyrics[]
[NARRATOR, spoken]
And the Baker gave Jack five beans in exchange for his cow, keeping one for himself.
[JACK]
I guess this is goodbye, old pal
You've been a perfect friend
I hate to see us part, old pal
Someday I'll buy you back
I'll see you soon again
I hope that when I do
It won't be on a plate
