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

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, 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

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

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

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

Who makes the morning fabulous

Rescues a dreary Sunday

Who gets to spend her birthday in Spain

Possibly you, Janie Runaway
