The Back Upon Which Jezza Jumped (Demo)
In the 1970 Grand Final, one of the greatest marks ever achieved in the history of AFL football was achieved by Mr Alex Jesaulenko. This is a song about the man he took it over, Mr Graham "Jerker" Jenkins
The back upon which Jezza jumped and rolled into the ground
The humiliated vertebrae that glorious mark crushed down
The pathetic platform from which Jesaulenko leapt into the sky
That ladder to immortality has finally laid down to die
Is Jerker, is Jerker... Jerker dead?
Is Jerker, is Jerker... Jerker dead?
Yes, Giant "Jerker" Jenkins, the man that stood his ground
That took the pain that gave others fame is six foot underground
Jolly Giant Jerker Jenkins, Jesaulenko's dupe
All he got out of that magic mark was a tendency to stoop
Did he hear the thundering footsteps on that fateful day?
As he looked up at that Sherrin, did he know he had no say
As Jezza jumped to fame and glory with one almighty leap
And he was left to be forgotten in a crumpled heap?
Is Jerker, is Jerker... Jerker dead?
Is Jerker, is Jerker... Jerker dead?
And so all you men of a small ability and mediocre skill
All those of you who in the race of life are left standing still
Those who must always know others are questionably better
The second class, the also ran, Is Jerker, is Jerker... Jerker dead? the unsuccessful go-getter
The minor leaguers, the average markers, the consistent second raters
The stay-at-homers, Is Jerker, is Jerker... Jerker dead? the timid loners, the habitual masturbators
The ugly girls, the amputees, the screaming mongoloids
Is Jerker, is Jerker... Jerker dead?
The senile old, the deformed young, the bladders that unwillingly void
The cancer-ridden, the AIDS victim, the plastic surgery disaster
The fake bowel, the anguished howl as the psychopath shafts you
Is Jerker, is Jerker... Jerker dead?
The violated, the child rapist, the jerk-off artists
Is Jerker, is Jerker... Jerker dead?
The intensely hated, the disaster fated, the involuntary fartists!
Is Jerker, is Jerker... Jerker dead?
All you huge race of men with mind or body dismembered
Is Jerker, is Jerker... Jerker dead?
Never forget the name of the man who will never be remembered
Is Jerker, is Jerker... Jerker dead?
And be warned all of you with hopes of happiness you pathetically nurture
Is Jerker, is Jerker... Jerker dead?
Lest you forget the back upon which Jezza jumped
Is Jerker, is Jerker... Jerker dead?
The giant Graham "Jerker"
Is Jerker, is Jerker... Jerker dead?
Is Jerker, is Jerker... Jerker dead?
Is Jerker, is Jerker... Jerker dead?
Is Jerker, is Jerker... Jerker dead?
