How bout:

Captain Smack can get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Smack will get you by tonight
Just a little post and you'll be smiling

"This is based on a real person. Captain Jack was a drug dealer who lived near Joel in Oyster Bay, NY.Joel considers this an anti-drug song, as he sings about how their users become apathetic and lifeless"


The masturbation thing is incidental to the main point of the song which is about dope.

Captain Jack by Billy Joel Songfacts

While many songs contain references to masturbation (check out "She Bop" or "Whip It"), this is one of the few that actually uses the word "masturbate" in the lyrics. This, along with the marijuana references, kept it off the playlists at most radio stations.
