Lyrics This is perhaps the most common set of modern lyrics: This is the house that Jack built. This is the malt that lay in the house that Jack built. This is the rat that ate the malt That lay in the house that Jack built. This is the cat that killed the rat That ate the malt that lay in the house that Jack built. This is the dog that worried the cat That killed the rat that ate the malt That lay in the house that Jack built. This is the cow with the crumpled horn That tossed the dog that worried the cat That killed the rat that ate the malt That lay in the house that Jack built. This is the maiden all forlorn That milked the cow with the crumpled horn That tossed the dog that worried the cat That killed the rat that ate the malt That lay in the house that Jack built. This is the man all tattered and torn That kissed the maiden all forlorn That milked the cow with the crumpled horn That tossed the dog that worried the cat That killed the rat that ate the malt That lay in the house that Jack built. This is the priest all shaven and shorn That married the man all tattered and torn That kissed the maiden all forlorn That milked the cow with the crumpled horn That tossed the dog that worried the cat That killed the rat that ate the malt That lay in the house that Jack built. This is the cock that crowed in the morn That waked the priest all shaven and shorn That married the man all tattered and torn That kissed the maiden all forlorn That milked the cow with the crumpled horn That tossed the dog that worried the cat That killed the rat that ate the malt That lay in the house that Jack built. This is the farmer sowing his corn That kept the cock that crowed in the morn That waked the priest all shaven and shorn That married the man all tattered and torn That kissed the maiden all forlorn That milked the cow with the crumpled horn That tossed the dog that worried the cat That killed the rat that ate the malt That lay in the house that Jack built. This is the horse and the hound and the horn That belonged to the farmer sowing his corn That kept the cock that crowed in the morn That waked the priest all shaven and shorn That married the man all tattered and torn That kissed the maiden all forlorn That milked the cow with the crumpled horn That tossed the dog that worried the cat That killed the rat that ate the malt That lay in the house that Jack built. Some versions use "cheese" instead of "malt", "judge" instead of "priest", "rooster" instead of "cock", the older past tense form "crew" instead of "crowed", or "chased" in place of '"killed". Narrative technique This Is the House That Jack Built illustrated by Randolph Caldecott It is a cumulative tale that doesn't tell the story of Jack, who builds a house, but instead shows how the house is indirectly linked to numerous things and people, and through this method tells the story of 'The man all tattered and torn', and the 'Maiden all forlorn', on top of other smaller storylines. Origins It has been argued that the rhyme is derived from a Aramaic hymn Chad Gadya (lit., "An Only Kid") in Sepher Haggadah, first printed in 1590; but although this is an early cumulative tale that may have inspired the form, the lyrics bear little relationship. It was suggested by James Orchard Halliwell that and the reference to the "priest all shaven and shorn" indicates that the English version is probably very old, presumably as far back as the mid-sixteenth century. There is a possible reference to the song in The Boston New Letter of 12 April 1739 and the line: "This is the man all forlorn, &c". However, it did not appear in print until it was included in Nurse Truelove's New-Year's-Gift, or the Book of Books for Children, printed in London in 1755. It was printed in numerous collections in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Randolph Caldecott produced an illustrated version in 1878. References in popular culture The popularity of the rhyme can be seen in its use in a variety of cultural contexts, including: In literature and journalism Samuel Taylor Coleridge used it as the basis of a self-parody published in 1797 under the name Nehemiah Higginbotham. This was one of three sonnets, the other two parodying Charles Lamb and Charles Lloyd. Beginning "And this reft house is that the which he built / Lamented Jack! And here his malt he piled / Cautious in vain!" it piled together phrases from Coleridge's serious work put to ludicrous use. A parody by Frederick Winsor appeared in The Space Child's Mother Goose (1958) as "This is the theory Jack built." It commented on the progress of science by describing the creation, obfuscation, and eventual destruction of a flawed theory. The poem "The Responsibility" by Peter Appleton parodies this rhyme to make a social comment about the manufacture of weapons. The twelfth Torchwood novel is titled The House that Jack Built. The news stories in 2006 about the shady dealings of lobbyist Jack Abramoff led to editorials about "the house that Jack built". Laurie Faria Stolarz referenced it in her book Blue is for Nightmares. One of the main characters receives an e-mail from an ex-boyfriend with a link to an animation of the poem. In politics One of the "Political Miscellanies" associated with the Rolliad, an eigtheenth-century British satire, was "This Is the House That George Built", referring to George Nugent Grenville, Marquess of Buckingham, who had briefly supported William Pitt the Younger into government before resigning from office. The parody is attributed to Joseph Richardson. Thomas Jefferson, prior to serving as President, first used it to criticize the broad construction approach of the Necessary and Proper Clause of the U.S. Constitution with respect to a bill to grant a federal charter to a mining company. The term was used to suggest that the expansion of federal powers under these arguments would give the federal government infinite powers. "Congress are authorized to defend the nation. Ships are necessary for defense; copper is necessary for ships; mines, necessary for copper; a company necessary to work the mines; and who can doubt this reasoning who has ever played at 'This is the House that Jack Built'? Under such a process of filiation of necessities the sweeping clause makes clean work." During The Great War, British Propaganda promoted the following version of the rhyme: This is the house that Jack built. This is the bomb that fell on the house that Jack built. This is the Hun who dropped the bomb that fell on the house that Jack built. This is the gun that killed the Hun who dropped the bomb that fell on the house that Jack built. In television and film In 1966 an episode of The Avengers was titled "The House That Jack Built". A 1967 animated short The House That Jack Built, nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. A public information film from the 1970-1980's about fire safety was entitled The House That Jack Built, and was presented as an animated book containing the story of how a house (built by a man named Jack) burnt down in the night due to an unguarded fire and open doors, which resulted in the deaths of Jack's wife and newborn baby. The ending of the advert urges viewers to buy a smoke alarm and follow fire safety plans. In popular music In 1967 Alan Price had a international chart hit with his song "The House that Jack Built". It reached #4 in the UK, #26 in NL and #38 in GER. Aretha Franklin had a number-six pop and number-two R&B hit single with "The House That Jack Built" (not a version of the rhyme) in 1968. English singer Tracie Young had a hit single with "The House That Jack Built" (not a version of the rhyme) in 1983. In 1987 a pioneering house music act under the name Jack N Chill released a single called "The Jack That House Built". On re-release a year later, it reached number six in the UK. In 1987 Near the end of the track "Home" by Roger Waters on his "Radio KAOS" CD, he makes a reference to it. It's done in similar fashion to the original prose - only mentioning Jack after a lengthy list of other references to the idea of Home. In 1995 Clutch released the song "The House that Peterbilt", a reference to the truck company. In 1996 Metallica released the album Load containing a song called "The House Jack Built". The Capitol Steps created and performed a parody called "The House That Jack Bribed", also referring to Jack Abramoff. In sports The former stadium of the New York Yankees, Yankee Stadium, was nicknamed "The house that Ruth built". Babe Ruths tremendous drawing power made the stadium possible.
