It was a Halloween night and Jack was a seeking his prey
A                                                                   E
He was stalking all the rooftops just a tryin to see the ladies at play
G                          A
He was wearing his daddies clothes
G                                          A
So the squealers would mistake him for his Pa now
        G                                               A
And the very same day his dad was copped for the dirty deed

B                 G                  A                E
Your window lovin your window lovin nineteen times a day
A                                   C
You better raise your sights just a little bit higher
B                        G                    A
To give your Mama just a little bit brighter day
                      B
She needs a brighter day
