Jacky Paradise

words & music Lewis Furey

no use lying in your lonely bed
dreaming 'bout the life you might have led
jacky hits the streets at midnight
jacky wants to play
wants to kiss you 'neath the lamplight
wants to take you all the way
jacky paradise, jacky paradise
watch now as jacky grabs his knife
cuts a slice, very nice
catch him if you can, catch him if you can baby
watch now
two tigers are coming to claim their man
on your guard gentlemen in your ivory tower
you who tightly hold the reins of power
on that little subject
could we make a rendez-vous
at the statue of liberty so jack
can shoot you with his twenty-two
jacky paradise, jacky paradise
watch now as jacky grabs his life
cuts a slice, very nice
catch him if you can, catch him if you can baby
watch now
two tigers are coming to claim their man
