Slang Of Ages Lyrics by Steely Dan

Slang Of Ages

Let me put it this way doll
And I know it's getting late
I can tell from the planes of your face
That you're from out of state
But here in the Willows now here's the deal
Tomorrow's for squarestonight's for real

Drop me off in Groovetime
Do I hear the Slang of Ages
Show me how it's done

Now did you say you were from the Netherlands
Or was that Netherworld??
If you grew up in Amsterdam
Then I'm the Duke of Earl
These tabs look iffyyou say they're good
Let's roll with the homeysknock on wood

Drop me off in Groovetime
Soothe me with the slang of ages
Show me where I turn

You are part of the Dreaming
The end of my life so far?
Or something halfway in between
You ought to know
Heywhere'd you go?

Damnshe skipped dimensions
Was it something that I said?
Or something I was thinking
When she opened up my head?
Let me make it right babynever mind how
There's a crazy little place I know called Be There Now?

Drop me off in Groovetime
Do I hear the Slang of Ages
Show me how it's done
Drop me off in Groovetime
Soothe me with the Slang of Ages
This is where I turn
