[Verse 1]
EDAE
I know you and you know me, we met many years ago
EDAE
in the halls of some ivy covered university where we both used to go.
ED
Now we stand outside the Denmark Hotel
AE
with Japanese men in their business suits.
ED
It's midnight, you're talking to some Frenchman
AE
about who does what to you know who.
[Chorus]
DEDE
You want the big jack, you want the sky to crack,
DEDE
you want something that's going to give you the big jack.
DEDE
You want the big jack, hell, we all want that,
DEDE
you want something to give you the big jack.

[Verse 2]
EDAE
You say you want to go somewhere where your ideals were much more than luxuries.
ED
And just like some great old paining
AE
you set there so smug with your hands between your knees.
[Chorus]
DEDE
You want the big jack, you want the sky to crack,
DEDE
you want something to give you the big jack.
DEDE
You want the big jack, hell, we all want that,
DEDE
you want something to give you the big jack.

[Verse 3]
ED
So, go back down to that Mississippi town
AE
where you come from, have a big time tonight,
ED
I can still see you in your father's coat
AE
on the delta shore that he once owned.
EDAE
I want to be your father's coat, I want you, girl, to marry me.
[Chorus]
DEDE
I want the big jack, I want the sky to crack,
DEDE
I want something to give me the big jack.
DEDE
I want the big jack, hell, we all want that,
DEDE
I want something to give me a heart attack.
[End-Chorus]
DEDE
I want the big jack, yeah, we all want that,
DEDE
we want something to give us the big jack.
DEDE
I want the big jack, I want the sky to crack,
DEDE
I want something to give me the big jack.
