Lyrics Captain Jack - Billy Joel

Captain Jack

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
