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 but his body fails him   He's surrounded by loved ones but that only goes so far   And does he know where he is? I doubt it      Jack the lion roaring his last, like a vision sent from the past   Bedside, crying, holding his hands strong hands      Finally get a moment alone with the old man   He's having trouble breathing and he's not the 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 fading      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      Bop bop bop      Jack the lion roaring his last, like a vision sent from the past   Bedside, crying, holding his hands strong hands
