Who's that simpleton standing over there?

F
Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.

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?

The Idiot Dunce, the Idiot Dunce.

F
Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.

F
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

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.

C
Do the Idiot Dunce.

F
All right put your finger on your nose,

C
Now cross those eyes.

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,

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

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?

The Idiot Dunce, the Idiot Dunce.
