СYou must be going round the twist!Т
СHe smelled me out, I swear it, mum!
СHe said he smelled an Englishman!Т
The mother said, СAnd well he might!
СIТve told you every single night
СTo take a bath because you smell,
СBut would you do it? Would you hell!
СYou even make your mother shrink
СBecause of your unholy stink!Т
Jack answered, СWell, if youТre so clean
СWhy donТt you climb the crazy bean.Т
The mother cried, СBy gad, I will!
СThereТs life within the old dog still!Т
She hitched her skirts above her knee
And disappeared right up the tree.
Now would the Giant smell his mum?
Jack listened for the fee-fo-fum.
He gazed aloft. He wondered when
The dreaded words would come... And then ...
From somewhere high above the ground
There came a frightful crunching sound.
He heard the Giant mutter twice,
СBy gosh, that tasted very nice.
СAlthoughТ (and this in grumpy tones)
СI wish there werenТt so many bones.Т
СBy Christopher!Т Jack cried. СBy gum!
СThe GiantТs eaten up my mum!
СHe smelled her out! SheТs in his belly!
СI had a hunch that she was smelly.Т
Jack stood there gazing longingly
Upon the huge and golden tree.
He murmured softly, СGolly-gosh,
СI guess IТll have to take a wash
СIf I am going to climb this tree
СWithout the Giant smelling me.
СIn fact, a bathТs my only hope ...
He rushed indoors and grabbed the soap
He scrubbed his body everywhere.
He even washed and rinsed his hair.
He did his teeth, he blew his nose
And went out smelling like a rose.
Once more he climbed the mighty bean.
The Giant sat there, gross, obscene,
Muttering through his vicious teeth
(While Jack sat tensely just beneath),
Muttering loud, СFEE FI FO FUM,
СRIGHT NOW I CANТT SMELL ANYONE.Т
Jack waited till the Giant slept,
Then out along the boughs he crept
And gathered so much gold, I swear
