The Big Jack |
| I know you and you know me |
| We met many years ago |
| In the halls of some ivy covered university |
| Where we both used to go |
| Now we stand outside the Denmark hotel |
| With Japanese men in their business suits |
| It’s midnight you’re talking to some Frenchman |
| About who does what to you know who |
| You want the big jack |
| You want the sky to crack |
| You want something that’s going to give you |
| The big jack |
| You want the big jack |
| Hell we all want that |
| You want something that’s going to give you |
| The big jack |
| You say you want to go somewhere |
| Where your ideals were much more than luxuries |
| And just like some great old painting |
| You set there so smug |
| With your hands between your knees |
| You want the big jack |
| You want the sky to crack |
| You want something that’s going to give you |
| The big jack |
| You want the big jack |
| Hell we all want that |
| You want something that’s going to give you a |
| Heart attack |
| So go back down to that Mississippi town |
| Where you come from |
| Have a big time tonight |
| I can still see you in your father’s coat |
| On the delta shore |
| That he once owned |
| I want to be your father’s coat |
| I want you girl to marry me |
| I want the big jack |
| I want the sky to crack |
| I want something that’s going to give me |
| The big jack |
| I want the big jack |
| Hell we all want that |
| I want something that’s going to give me a |
| Heart attack |
| I want the big jack |
| Yeah we all want that |
| We want something that’s going to give us the big jack |
| I want the big jack |
| I want the sky to crack |
| I want something that’s going to give me the big jack |
