Oh Jack!

Oh Jack, I won't go your way
Oh Jack, I won't go your way
That's just the road to ruin
The opposite of this is that
Lay down your hat
Send for the cat
And find a good room

You're still at the party
And there's no end in sight
You know that the party
Goes on all night, every night, every night

Oh Jack, the answer is not in the ocean
Oh Jack, the answer is not at any extreme
That's just the way it seems
That every square is white or black
And you walk in between

Oh Jack, all these old faces and...
Now Jack, bringing neophytes to the game
And they all know your name
Bounding in or bowing out
You're going against the grain

You're still at the party
And there's no end in sight
You know that the party
Goes on all night, every night, every night

Oh Jack, I won't go your way
Oh Jack, I won't go your way
That's just the road to ruin
The opposite of this is that
Lay down your hat
Send for the cat
And find a good room
