That poor old Jacob 

He did well- Ladders

And climbed up steeples  

To fetch pale bladders

But his foot got caught, 

He came with splatters 

Now the entire 

Town of Malesejyru 

Feared the old ladders 

But we needed them-

Our haciendas! 

And so with fervor 

With stacks of new bricks 

Did we use to climb

Up, up, up, up, up

So that way we would 

Not end up like poor 


Jacob

The town held him in their memory 

Their tongues all feeding from the pulpit 

Where sins are cooked and good men get sick 

Where the solar rays lose all hope, yay! 


Goodbye, poor Jacob.
