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 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

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

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
