Jack is back he blew it
all along we knew it
on his own without his friends
again a disapointed man
Jack is lookin'for action
love and affection
he is wonderin' why
it's so hard to get by
workin' at daytime
so he can really swing it at night
He goes in his car
has to pay in the bar
he is wonderin' why
it's so hard to bet by 'cause
friends nowadays they
really can swing it at night
At night he's great, he's always great
swingin' away
but on the job he's late, he's always late
dreamin' away
so now they send him away, send him away
and somebody's else is takin' his place
Jack is back he blew it
all along we knew it
on his own without his friends
again a disappointed man
Still he's looking for action
love and affection
he is wonderin' why
it's so hard to get by
on sunset boulevard
he's reachin 'for a fallin' star
At night he's great, he's always great
swingin' away
but on the job he's late, he's always late
dreamin' away
so now they send him away, send him away
and somebody's else is takin' his place
Jack is back he blew it
all along we knew it
on his own without his friends
again a disappointed man
