The Big Jack

[Verse 1]

Well, 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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

You want the big jack

You want the sky to crack

You want something gonna give you the big jack

You want the big jack

Hell, we all want that

You want something gonna give you the big jack

[Verse 3]

You say you wanna go somewhere

Where your ideals are much more than luxuries

And just like some great old painting

You sit there so smug with your hands between your knees

[Chorus]

You want the big jack

You want the sky to crack

You want something gonna give you the big jack

You want the big jack

Hell, we all want that

You want something gonna give you a heart attack

[Verse 4]

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 wanna be your father's coat

I want you, girl, to marry me

[Chorus]

I want the big jack

I want the sky to crack

I want something gonna give me the big jack

I want the big jack

Hell, we all want that

I want something gonna give me a heart attack

I want the big jack

Yeah, we all want that

We want something gonna give us the big jack

I want the big jack

I want the sky to crack

I want something gonna give me the big jack
