Janie Runaway Lyrics by Steely Dan

Janie Runaway Lyrics

    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
