INTRO:
Saturday night and you're still hangin' around
Tired of livin' in your one-horse town
You'd like to find a little hole in the ground
For a while u-hm-hm
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 u-hm-hm
Chorus 1:
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 smilin'
Your sister's gone out, she's on a date
You just sit at home and masturbate
The phone is gonna ring soon but you just can't wait
For that call u-hm-hm
So you stand on the corner in you New English clothes
And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes
Oh but still your finger's gonna pick your nose
After all u-hm-hm
Chorus 2
So you decide to take a holiday
You got your tape deck and your brand new chevrolet
Ah there ain't no place to go anyway
And what for u-hm-hm
So you've got everything, ah but nothing's cool
They just found your Father in the swimming pool
And you guess you wont be going back to school
Any more
Chorus 3:
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 smilin' la la la
So you play your albums and you smoke your pot
And you meet your girlfriend in the parking lot
Oh but still you're aching for the things you haven't got
What went wrong u-hm-hm
And if you can't understand why your world is so dead
Why you've gotta keep in style and feed your head
Well you're twenty one and still your Mother makes your bed
And that's too long Whoa-whoa-whoa-yeah-yeah
Chorus 4:
Well Captain Jack can 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 smilin'
Chorus 5:
Oh Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special isle
Well now Captain Jack will make you high tonight
Just a little push and you'll be smilin'
Chorus 6:
Yeah Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will make you high tonight

About this song: Captain Jack
A song written by Billy Joel when he began writing for the Piano Man album. One day during these compositions he was sitting in his apartment in Oyster Bay, Long Island and then looking out the window for an inspiration. His inspiration was found outside his window when he saw a housing project and he witnessed suburban teens going into the house project to obtain heroin from a notorious dealer by the name of "Captain Jack".
