[Verse 1]
Rake up all the leaves in Pleasant Valley
It's the last day of my visit (Upstate New York) to pay respects to the old man
He's still got his sense of humor, oh, but his body fails him
He's surrounded by loved ones, and that only goes so far
And does he know where he is? I doubt it

[Chorus]
Jack the lion roaring his last
Like a vision sent from the past
Bedside, cryin', holding his hands
Strong hands, woah, woah, oh

[Verse 2]
Finally get a moment alone with the old man
He's having trouble breathin' and he's not the only one, only one
He wonders where time goes and why we haven't spoken for so long
He regrets it, he forgets it, and none too soon
Because he's closing his eyes and fadin'

[Chorus]
Jack the lion roaring his last
Like a vision sent from the past
Bedside, cryin', holding his hands
Strong hands, woah, woah, oh
[Bridge]
We thank you for uniting
We thank you for the cause
We thank you for the lion
We thank you for the claws
Come see him again, come see him again
Come see him again, come see him again

[Interlude]
Ba-da-da, bop, ba-da-dum, bop
Ba-da-do, bop, ba-da-da, bop
Ba-da-da, bop, ba-da-da, bop
Ba-da-da, bop, ba-da-da-da-da-da-da
Bop bop bop ba, ba-da-da, bop ba, ba-ba-ba-da-da
Are you da-da, da, da, da, da-da-da-da-da
Bop bop bop ba, ba-da-da, bop ba, ba-ba-na-da
Ba-da-da, ba-na-na, ba-na-na-na-na!

[Chorus]
Jack the lion roaring his last
Like a vision sent from the past
Bedside, cryin', holding his hands
Strong hands

[Outro]
Jack the lion roaring his last
Jack the lion roaring his last
