Howard Shore
Gentleman Jack
Behind her back, she's Gentleman Jack
A Yorkshire lady of renown
Ever so fine, won't toe the line
Speak her name, Gentleman Frown
At Shibden Hall she had them all
The fairer sex fell under her spell
Dapper and bright, she held them tight
Handsome Anne seduced them well
[Chorus]
Gentleman Jack, oh Gentleman Jack
Watch your back, you're under attack
Their husbands are coming, you'd better start running
For nobody likes a Jack-the-lass
Jack-the-lass, Jack-the-lass
No one likes a Jack-the-lass
The code is cracked, your bags are packed
The knives are out for Gentleman Jack
Proud and stout 'nd full of clout
She played the fellas at their game
Sharp of mind, she's one of a kind
Devilish ways the men couldn't tame
Hidden away, revealed today
Loaded words in diaries found
Wants exposed in a baffling code
Lusty letters, all leather bound
[Chorus]
Gentleman Jack, oh Gentleman Jack
Watch your back, you're under attack
Their husbands are coming, you'd better start running
For nobody likes a Jack-the-lass
Jack-the-lass, Jack-the-lass
No one likes a Jack-the-lass
The code is cracked, your bags are packed
The knives are out for Gentleman Jack
[Bridge]
Behind her back, she's Gentleman Jack
She's Gentleman Jack behind her back
Behind her back, she's Gentleman Jack
She's Gentleman Jack behind her back
Behind her back, she's Gentleman Jack
She's Gentleman Jack behind her back
Behind her back, she's Gentleman Jack
She's Gentleman Jack behind her back
[Chorus]
Gentleman Jack, oh Gentleman Jack
Watch your back, you're under attack
Their husbands are coming, you'd better start running
For nobody likes a Jack-the-lass
Jack-the-lass, Jack-the-lass
No one likes a Jack-the-lass
The code is cracked, your bags are packed
The knives are out for Gentleman Jack
