Jack In the Box

I wind it slowly,
I know he’s coming,
Jack in the box.

I’m still winding,
I know he’s coming,
Jack in the box.

I let go,
The music starts playing,
I know he’s coming,
Jack in the box.

Lala-lala-lalalalala-lala-lala-lalalaaa
Pop goes the weasel?
Lala-lala,
I can’t take it anymore,
The anticipation.

Jack won’t scare me again,
I’m unwinding the box,
I made a mistake,
I’m unwinding the box,
I knew you were coming,
Jack in the box.

I unwound, and unwound, all the back
To the start,
The music kept playing,
Stop playing,
I know you’re coming,
Jack in the box.

Now it’s too late,
You scared me again,
Why did I wind you?
Even when I knew,
I knew you were coming,
Jack in the box.
