Janie Runaway

Steely Dan

It must have been my lucky Thursday 
Your dad went on that spree 
Before the crew could put out the fires 
You hopped a bus for NYC 
Down in Tampa the future looked desperate and dark 
Now you're the wonderwaif of Gramercy Park 

Chorus
Who makes the morning fabulous 
Who says today's a fun day 
Why do I feel like sailing again 
Honey it's you - Janie Runaway 

Let's grab some takeout from Dean and Deluca 
A hearty gulping wine 
You be the showgirl and I'll be Sinatra 
Way back in '59 
Sweetness in heels - look at you - in long black gloves 
Come to old blue eyes tell me - who do you love 

Chorus
Who makes the traffic interesting 
Rescues a dreary Sunday 
Who makes me feel like painting again 
Honey it's you - Janie Runaway 

Let's plan a weekend alone together 
Drive out to Binky's place 
The sugar shack in Pennsylvania 
Or would that be a federal case? 
We'll take the Big Red - the Blazer - it's nice inside 
And guess who's coming along for the ride 

Chorus
Who has a friend named Melanie 
Who's not afraid to try new things 
Who gets to spend her birthday in Spain 
Possibly you - Janie Runaway
