New Jake City

They told me: a construction job
But first we need to shrink you
How big? No bigger than a fob
But you will have your own crew

I asked, shrink how? They said some ray
Some Hollywood invention
I thought a bit, then said, ok
With little apprehension

So I walk in, and there’s this…gun
That’s looking kind of scary
I start to think, what have I done?
But it’s too late to worry

Where the gun points, I see a desk
And on it, yeah, this IS nuts
Some peapods, and, this is grotesque
Some tiny folks in hard hats

No, I did not have too much sauce
I ask, what are they doing?
They’re building something for the Boss
His kid will be reviewing

What kind of a review is this?
And why the little sizes
This is a realistic piece
That’s what he emphasizes

That’s realistic??? There’s no way!
Plus, this can’t be compliant?
The kid is ten, what can I say
He likes to be the Giant

This whole thing is a movie take
For Jake and that damned Beanstalk?
If he’s the Giant, who’s the Jake?
Oh, hell, let’s have a quick talk

And that is truly how, my friends
I did become an actor
Shrinking myself for that there lens
Was the deciding factor
