Joe Jackson - The Jet Set Lyrics






Hey pal
Can I take your picture for the people back home
They won't believe it when they see this stuff
You see the camera that I got in Hong Kong
Completely duty free

This really is a pretty scene
But could you ask your kid to smile please
Sorry what exactly do you mean
Can you say it in English
(Say it in English)
'Cause we're the...

Jet set - get out of our way
And don't be messin' with the...
Jet set - get out of our way
We got a lot of things to see

Let's get a Big Mac
Get it while the dollar's worth a thousand yen
It's quite a bargain here
Next year
We'll save some money and we'll hire Big Ben
For our anniversary

This really is a pretty place
But I'm happy I don't live here
Hey what's the matter with the waiter's face
Can you say it in English
(Say it in English)
'Cause we're the...

Jet set - get out of our way
And don't be messin' with the...
Jet set - get out of our way
We got a lot of things to see

We're the jet set
Don't be messing with the jet set

Jet set

We're the jet set
Get out of our way
Don't be messin' with the...
Jet set - get out of our way
You know we got a lot of things to see

  1. R.... B....

    Hank the Knife & the Jets!!

  2. L.... T....

    This album was my favorite of the '80s, and hardly anybody knows about it. Such a diversity of styles and several songs that should have been hits!

    L.... T....

    Spot on, I bought it when it was released, still have it & play it occasionally.
    Shame it only had 3 sides !

    L.... T....

    I was going to say..it was the only double album that had three sides of grooves. I was in Chinatown (San Francisco) a couple of months ago and songs from this album just stuck in my mind. Of course it was during the Chinese New year's as well.

  3. K.... D....

    coooooool music man.....................

  4. M.... i....

    Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose. :-(

  5. 5.... ....

    excelente rock n roll

  6. G.... T....

    having the balls to sing a song like this might have had a "madison ave" negative effect... just saying... not hatin'... in fact quite the opposite.

    "Evil Empire" you'll have to search it, for some reason I can't post the YT link here...???

  7. J.... Z....

    If Joe Jackson looked like Paul McCartney, Simon Le Bon, or Ronan Keating, he would have been massive. Probably the most underated singer/songwriter EVER

  8. B.... ....

    Could you ask your kid to smile please? Brilliant.

  9. a.... ....

    JaCksOn rules!! Yes, he should have been huge and how he isn't is also beyond me, but goes to show you how much of a crap the mainstream is. Well, at least WE can appreciate him.

  10. J.... Z....

    I love this. Joe Jackson should have been one of the biggest stars ever....how he wasnt i'll never know

  11. s.... ....

    I saw Joe perform this song after it was released. HE came out dressed up as an American tourist. Had a big fat pot belly. A silly hat. And a camera. It was too f'n funny. He did the song dressed like that. The audience (Canadian) got a big kick out of it.

  12. a.... ....

    OOHHHH YESSSS!!!

  13. m.... ....

    @jennielap same me too!

  14. S.... L....

    I have been looking for this forever! Thanks Bettsy.

    Thank you Bettsy59!
