Jackie's Back
Ian North, c 2002

 
some people say she's uneducated
it may be true, she never denied it
there's one thing to which she's dedicated
some people knock it though they've never tried it

jackie's back, jackie's back in town
but she can't stay long this time
jackie's back, jackie's back in town
but she'll soon be gone

six months of tips buys an airplane ticket
she's got a plan and she never wavers
future's close enough to touch it
she makes no promises and asks no favours

i never got an invitation
she never shows that much consideration

institutions try to claim her
her father says that she needs a rest
she never lets the world detain her
she never stops to take the test
