Trini Lopez recorded this song in South Africa on Reprise Records in about 1968 when he was performing there.

That’s what worries me. After all, Saturday was just the Rapture; the end of the world isn’t until the fall (October 21, if I remember correctly).

I had hoped we would be able to spend our last months free of these self-righteous, uh… prigs, but apparently even that is denied us.

Seems like I remember hearing this song, in English prior to 1968. When was the song written and does anyone know of another singer performing this song prior to 1968? Thank you.

“Master Jack: was a reference to the Union Jack, or Great Britain, which the young whites in South Africa who came to see the evil of Apartheid blamed for the blight on their nation. Only at that time in South Africa you could not openly criticize Apartheid, so the lyrics and meaning are veiled, a metaphor in which a young person sees that the world they live in is strange, and unacceptable, and one to which they are never going to go back.

Absolutely nothing to do with Jack Kerouac.
