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
hmm hmm hmm

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

The 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

Your sister's gone out
She's on a date
And you just sit at home
and masturbate
The phone is gonna ring
soon but you just can't wait
for that call, hmm hmm hmm

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 finger,
it's gonna pick your nose,
after all

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
You'll be smiling

So you decide
to take a holiday
You got your tape deck and
your brand new Chevrolet
Ah, but there's no place
to go anyway
What for, hmm hmm hmm

So you've got everything
ah, but nothing's too cool
They've just found your
father in the swimming pool
And you guess you won't
be going back to school
anymore

And Captain Jack
will get you high tonight
And take you to your
special island

And Captain Jack
will get you by tonight
Just a little push
and you'll be smiling

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 things you haven't got
What went wrong?
hmm hmm hmm

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 twenty~one
and still your mother
makes your bed
And that's too long

But Captain Jack
will get you high tonight
And take you to
your special island

Yeah, Captain Jack
will get you by tonight
Just a little push
and you'll be smiling

Yeah, 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
You'll be smiling

But Captain Jack
will get you high tonight
And take you to
your special island

Yeah, Captain Jack
will get you by tonight
Just a little push
and you'll be smiling
