Lyrics

The most common version of the rhyme is:

Jack be nimble,
Jack be quick,
Jack jump over the candlestick.[1]

Origins and meaning

Jack is a dog, in Denslow's version

The rhyme is first recorded in a manuscript of around 1815 A.D. and was collected by James Orchard Halliwell in the mid-nineteenth century.[1] Jumping candlesticks was a form of fortune telling and a sport. Good luck was said to be signalled by clearing a candle without extinguishing the flame.[1]
