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
