Captain Jack - Billy Joel

Saturday night, and you’re

Still hanging around

You’re tired of living in your one horse town

You’d like to find a little hole

In the ground for a while

Mmm mmm mmm

So you go to the Village

In your tie-dye jeans

And you stare at the junkies

And the closet queens

It’s like some pornographic magazine

And you smile

Mmm mmm mmm

Captain Jack will get you high tonight

And take you to your special island

Captain Jack will get you by tonight

Just a little push, and you’ll be smiling

Ohh, yeah yeah

Your sister’s gone out, she’s on a date

And you just sit at home and masturbate

Your phone is gonna ring soon

But you just can’t wait for that call

Mmm mmm mmm

So you stand on the corner

In your New English clothes

And you look so polished

From your hair down to your toes

Oh, but still your fingers

Gonna pick your nose after all

Mmm mmm mmm, yeah

But Captain Jack will get you high tonight

And take you to your special island

Captain Jack will get you by tonight

Just a little push, and you’ll be smiling

Ohh, ohh, yeah yeah

So you decide to take a holiday

You got your tape deck

And your brand new Chevrolet

Ahh, there ain’t no place to go anyway

What for?

Mmm mmm mmm

So you got everything

Ah, but nothing’s cool

They just found your father

In the swimming pool

And you guess you won’t

Be going back to school anymore

But Captain Jack can get you high tonight

And take you to your special island

Oh, Captain Jack will get you by tonight

Just a little push, and you’ll be smiling

La la la

Ohh, yeah yeah

So you play your albums

And you smoke your pot

And you meet your girlfriend

In the parking lot

Ohh, but still you’re aching

For the things you haven’t got

What went wrong?

Mmm mmm mmm

And if you can’t understand

Why your world is so dead

Why you’ve got to keep in style

And feed your head

Well, you’re 21, and still your mother

Makes your bed, and that’s too long

Ohh ohh ohh

Ohh ohh whoa yeah yeah yeah

But Captain Jack will get you high tonight

And take you to your special island

Well, now Captain Jack

Will get you by tonight

Just a little push, and you’ll be smiling

Oh, Captain Jack will get you high tonight

And take you to your special island

Well, now Captain Jack

Could make you die tonight

Just a little push, and you’ll be smiling

Yeahh, Captain Jack will get you high tonight

And take you to your special island

Captain Jack will get you by tonight

Just a little push, and you’ll be smiling

Well Captain Jack will get you high tonight

Just a little push
