Fire in the head... I'm a flame in motion Fire in the head... I'm a sword that's sharp Fire in the head... I'm a drop in the ocean A shield in battle and a string in a harp. Fire in the head... I'm an eagle soaring Fire in the head... I'm a spoken word Fire in the head... I'm a torrent pouring A grain of wheat and a cauldron stirred. Fire in the head! Wee Jack's rhymes are sly and hinting Wrapped in bull skin banging a drum Wee Jack's looking, one-eyed squinting Hoppin' on one leg, sucking his thumb The black sow's chasin' me round the oak tree Humming a tune that I must learn The black sow's call to feast awoke me But oh her cauldron spits and burns (Chorus) Mad May shakes her bells to ringing Rides through the door and disappears Mad May's laughing, asking, singing Does anyone have ears that hear? The raven sat in a creek and pondered Why the alder tree is strong The raven's head flew off wnd wandered Singing stories and telling songs
