СIТll bet you sold her much too cheap.Т
When Jack produced one lousy bean,
His startled mother, turning green,
Leaped high up in the air and cried,
СIТm absolutely stupefied!
СYou crazy boy! DТyou really mean
СYou sold our Daisy for a bean?Т
She snatched the bean. She yelled, СYou chump.
And flung it on the rubbish-dump.
Then summoning up all her power,
She beat the boy for half an hour,
Using (and nothing could be meaner)
The handle of a vacuum-cleaner.
At ten p.m. or thereabout,
The little bean began to sprout.
By morning it had grown so tall
You couldnТt see the top at all.
Young Jack cried, СMum, admit it now!
СItТs better than a rotten cow!Т
The mother said, СYou lunatic!
СWhere are the beans that I can pick?
СThereТs not one bean! ItТs bare as bare!Т
СNo no!Т cried Jack. СYou look up there!
СLook very high and youТll behold
СEach single leaf is solid gold!Т
By gollikins, the boy was right!
Now, glistening in the morning light,
The mother actually perceives
A mass of lovely golden leaves!
She yells out loud, СMy sainted souls!
СIТll sell the Mini, buy a Rolls!
СDonТt stand and gape, you little clot!
СGet up there quick and grab the lot!Т
Jack was nimble, Jack was keen.
He scrambled up the mighty bean.
Up up he went without a stop,
But just as he was near the top,
A ghastly frightening thing occurred -
Not far above his head he heard
A big deep voice, a rumbling thing
That made the very heavens ring.
It shouted loud, СFEE Fl FO FUM
СI SMELL THE BLOOD OF AN ENGLISHMAN!Т
Jack was frightened, Jack was quick,
And down he climbed in half a tick.
СOh mum!Т he gasped. СBelieve you me
СThereТs something nasty up our tree!
СI saw him, mum! My gizzard froze!
СA Giant with a clever nose!Т
СA clever nose!Т his mother hissed.
