Jack and Jill party

I'm going to a Jack-and-Jill party
A Jack-and-Jill party
is always gonna start me
on the road to ruin
and who knows where?
Beat your face
and rat your hair
In the cathouse
with my bitches
In the back room of the palace
adding up my riches
Such a clown
I had the wrong idea
Should have gone to stage school
and got a career

I'm going
(To a party
a Jack-and-Jill party)
I'm going
(To a party
a Jack-and-Jill party)

I'm going to America
A very big subject
America
We'll walk down the avenue
hand in hand
cameras flashing
on command
Posessed of a power to fascinate
It's almost like
I'm almost straight
And that's such a great
substantial way
to deflect hate
in the USA

I'm going
(To a party
a Jack-and-Jill party)
I'm going
(To a party
a Jack-and-Jill party)

I'm going to a Jack-and-Jill party
a Jack-and-Jill party
and nobody's gonna stop me
I don't care
what they say
These days everybody's
a DJ
The public reject
Collectors collect
It's a matter of size
and you're up for a prize
Turn my back
on the human race
Gimme an inch
and I'm jamming the space

I'm going
(To a party
a Jack-and-Jill party)
I'm going
(To a party
a Jack-and-Jill party)

Beat your face
and rat your hair
