Mr. JACK (when you're nineteen) - music and lyrics by Richard C. (Kluso) Tollini © 2009
Well, hello Mr Jack ,, y'know that I was thinkin' back to
The days of waterloo and dancing queens,
when Bennie and the jetts were smoking camel cigarettes while our
Seasons in the sun just slipped away
cuz sometimes Mr Jack its all the little things in fact that make us
who we are and what we want to be
like wearing a strange hat while you're performing public math
is not exactly how you want to spend your day
Because our summers nights will never be the same
when you realize what it all means
and you just can't seem to get enough to eat when you're nineteen
so we sing for souls of our companions
with guarded whispers requesting that we leave
while the sum of our days feel just like prison
its those summer nights that really set us free
well so long Mister Jack you see I'm never coming back because you
taught me just how hard life can be
but I really gotta thank you for the inside-out of life view and
for everything that you have done for me
Because our summers nights would never be the same
when we realized what it all means
and you just can't seem to get enough sleep when you're nineteen
and you just can't seem to get enough sleep when you're nineteen
