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?
When you’ve done your make-up
you can fix your hair
In the doghouse
with the rejects
On the scrapheap
out of context
I’m such a fool
I had the wrong idea
Should have gone to stage school
and got a career

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

I’m going to America
A very big subject
America
When we’re walking down the avenue
hand in hand
flashbulbs flashing
on command
Possessed 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 out
(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
is a DJ
The public reject
Collectors collect
It’s a matter of size
and you’re up for a prize
Taking refuge
from the human race
The only solution
exploring the space

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