Boston Rag by Steely Dan

Any news was good news
And the feeling was bad at home
I was out of my mind
And you were on the phone

Lonnie was the kingpin
Back in nineteen sixty-five
I was singing this song
When Lonnie came alive

Bring back the Boston rag
Tell all your buddies
That it ain't no drag
Bring back the Boston rag

You were lady bay side
There was nothing that I could do
So I pointed my car down
Seventh avenue

Lonnie swept the playroom
And he swallowed up all he found
It was forty-eight hours till
Lonnie came around

Bring back the Boston rag
Tell all your buddies
That it ain't no drag
Bring back the Boston rag

Bring back the Boston rag
Tell all your buddies
That it ain't no drag
...
