Everybody's always looking for Jack
             
In the fire in the water
                      
Everybody's always looking for Jack
                    
In the streets and on the corners
                    
I always wanted to be like Jack
            
He's as cool as they come
                      
Yeah I always wanted to be like Jack
                
Still for me he's the one


I'm not sure about the chorus, but the best I could get was:

       
Someday     Someday
       
Someday     Someday


The same pattern is used throughout. If you have any better ideas about the the chorus 
please do comment.
