    I do believe it's "Get up Jack, John sit down"  Because it's talking about what happens when he runs out of money...kind of a 'so sorry, Charlie...you've nothing more to offer, so it's the next guy's turn!'  Angel

    It could be four gospel creatures, in medieval iconography, the gospel writers were symbolized by four creatures:  Matthew-human, Mark-lion, Luke-Ox, John-eagle.

    Considering my track history with mis-hearing stuff, I always doubt myself. Watching Webisode 7, listening to Bob sing Banks of Newfoundland, I keep thinking 'what the heck's he saying?' Monkey jackets? Then Sean turns to the camera and says monkey jackets, and I think 'even Sean, who knows the correct words, thinks he says monkey jackets so you know it's bad'. 

    Then I google the lyrics only to discover that it's really monkey jackets! Imagine my surprise. Now, what exactly are monkey jackets?

    It's a short jacket that comes only to the waist. Offers no protection against the weather really. Think of the short red jackets worn by organ-grinder monkeys. Just for dressing up, not very practical jackets for a voyage.
