[05:18.936]Who turns the key in spite of the fact
[05:21.876]That this is the end of the cat and mouse
[05:25.121]Who dwelt in the house
[05:26.300]Where the laughter rang and the tears were spilt
[05:30.925]The house that Jack built
[05:35.819]Where the laughter rang and the tears were spilt
[05:38.506]The house that Jack built
[05:41.687]Bang, bang, shoot, shoot
[05:43.401]White gloved thumb, Lord thy will be done
