LYRICS BY: http://www.lyrics007.com/Billy%20Joel%20Lyrics/Captain%20Jack%20Lyrics.html


Saturday night and you're still hangin' around
Tired of living in your one horse town
you'd like to find a little hole in the ground,
for awhile..

So you go to the village in your tie dyed jeans
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens
It's like some pornographic magazine
And you smile

(chorus)

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'

Oh yeah,...

Your sister's gone out, she's on a date
You just sit at home and masturbate
Your phone is gonna ring soon, but you just can't wait
For that call

So you stand on the corner in your New English clothes
and you look so polished from your hair down to your toes
Ah but still your fingers gonna pick your nose
After all,..

(chorus)

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
What for?

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.

(chorus)

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?

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

(chorus)

  • why the hell is "firework" in the suggestions?

  • @dean84921 Not entirely sure but im guessing VEVO has legal rights to this song so because of that they are allowed to advertise any song they want, they just happens to be the hit one right now I suppose.

  • lil wayne shouldn't be in the suggestion box. . .just sayin!

  • This is a really great song. I know that it's fairly old, but it is easy for me to relate with the lyrics.

  • As all Billy Joel songs go, this one is great.. Not the best, but great in it's own right.

  • This song made me laugh. And I hope the lyrics are sardonic, because you shouldn't take to the bottle, prostitutes or drugs. But I've recently become a big fan of Billy Joel even if he sings of "captain Jack"

  • was post viet-nam anthem,blueblood anarchy

  • @dcbandnerd Unless you... want music.. to sound more awesome? Or... are just bored? Or... Um...

    DON'T MASTURBATE

  • AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • "Lil Wayne Piano Man" is in the suggestions, and I'm scared to click the link

  • Todd Manson, Dan Manson, Shay (really Sea Aughey), Tim Manson, "Killer" Todd knows who that is. Dorothy Aughey and God Bless her, Kelly! Tom Fitzpatrick and Deirdra, Jack Wilkowski, Hop, and the rest. Brake Service and Equipment Company of Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and lest we forget Merritt Obrien.

  • The best part is when he says 'Captain Jack can make you die tonight'
