Sung to the tune of Jackson by Johnny Cash and June Taylor

              

(Bob Jackman is one of the doyens of Australian Scrabble, having been president of NSW ASPA for almost two decades while maintaining a place in the very top echelon of Scrabble Masters.

We got carried in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout.
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackman, ever since the draw came out.
I'm playin' Jackman, ain't gonna mess around.
Yeah, I'm playin' Jackman,
Look out Jackman's down.
 
Well you go down to Jackman, go ahead and wreck your health.
Go play your hands, you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself.
You're goin' to Jackman, go comb your hair!
Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackman.
See if I care.
 
When I breeze into that kitty, all those tiles are gonna group and how! (Hah!)
All those bingos gonna make me teach him what he don't know now -
I'm goin' to Jackman, turn loose o' my coat.
'Cos, I'm goin' to Jackman.
"Goodbye" - that's all she wrote.
 
But they'll laugh at you with Jackman, and I'll be dancin' on a Toohey's keg.
He'll lead you around like a scalded hound with your tail tucked between your legs.
You're goin' to Jackman, you big-talkin' man.
And I'll be waiting for Jackman, behind my japing hand.
 
Well he got MARdIED then eNFEVER, HOTTERS then APEPSIAS out.
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackman, ever since the game played out.
I bombed to Jackman, and that's a fact.
Yeah I crashed to Jackman, ain't never comin' back.
 
Well he got MARdIED then eNFEVER, HOTTERS then APEPSIAS out.
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackman, ever since the game played ...
