My old school


I remember the thirty five sweet goodbyes
When you put me on the Wolverine
Up to Annandale
It was still September
When your daddy was quite surprised
To find you with the working girls
In the county jail
I was smoking with the boys upstairs
When I heard about the whole affair
I said oh no
William and Mary won't do
CHORUS:
Well I did not think the girl
Could be so cruel
And I'm never going back
To my old school

Oleanders growing outside her door
Soon they're gonna be in bloom
Up in Annandale
I can't stand her
Doing what she did before
Living like a gypsy queen
In a fairy tale
Well I hear the whistle but I can't go
I'm gonna take her down to Mexico
She said oh no
Guadalajara won't do

CHORUS

California tumbles into the sea
That'll be the day I go
Back to Annandale
Tried to warn you
About Chino and Daddy Gee
But I can't seem to get to you
Through the U.S. Mail
Well I hear the whistle but I can't go
I'm gonna take her down to Mexico
She said oh no
Guadalajara won't do

CHORUS

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Steely Dan is an American musical group formed in New York City in 1972, known for its sophisticated and distinctive sound, a fusion of jazz, rock, funk, rhythm and blues, and pop. Founding members Donald Fagen and Walter Becker have always maintained a high level of attention to music production, characterized by complex arrangements and impeccably defined sound. Their often introspective music, rich in cultural references, anticipated many musical trends of the 1980s. Among their most representative songs are "Reelin' in the Years", "Deacon Blues" and "Peg". Steely Dan released ten studio albums between 1972 and 1980, achieving significant critical and commercial success. After a hiatus of over twenty years, the band reunited in 2000 for new recordings and tours, demonstrating their enduring ability to captivate a wide and diverse audience.
