I'm Lester the Nightfly
Hello Baton Rouge
Won't you turn your radio down
Respect the seven second delay we use
So you say there's a race
Of men in the trees
You're for tough legislation
Thanks for calling
I wait all night for calls like these
An independent station
WJAZ
With jazz and conversation
From the foot of Mt. Belzoni
Sweet music
Tonight the night is mine
Late line till the sun comes through the skylight
I've got plenty of java
And Chesterfield Kings
But I feel like crying
I wish I had a heart like ice
Heart like ice
If you want your honey
To look super swell
You must spring for that little blue jar
Patton's Kiss And Tell
Kiss And Tell
An independent station
WJAZ
With jazz and conversation
From the foot of Mt. Belzoni
Sweet music
Tonight the night is mine
Late line till the sun comes through the skylight
You'd never believe it
But once there was a time
When love was in my life
I sometiemes wonder
What happened to that flame
The answer's still the same
It was you you it was you
Tonight you're still on my mind
An independent station
WJAZ
With jazz and conversation
From the foot of Mt. Belzoni
Sweet music
Tonight the night is mine
Late line till the sun comes through the skylight
The lyrics THE NIGHTFLY of DONALD FAGEN is also present in the album The nightfly (1982)
Donald Jay Fagen (nascosto a Passaic, New Jersey, 10 gennaio 1948) è un cantautore, compositore e produttore discografico statunitense. Famoso per il suo stile vocale distintivo e le sue intricate composizioni musicali, Fagen è principalmente noto come cofondatore e membro principale degli Steely Dan, una band di rock progressivo/jazz fusion attiva dal 1971 al 1981 e poi sporadicamente fino ai giorni nostri. Fagen ha collaborato con Walter Becker per scrivere la maggior parte dei brani degli Steely Dan, caratterizzati da arrangiamenti complessi, testi raffinati e un'influenza jazz evidente. Dopo lo scioglimento della band, Fagen ha intrapreso una carriera solista di successo, pubblicando album come "The Nightfly" (1982) e "Kamakiriad" (1993), che hanno riscosso grande apprezzamento da parte della critica. Tra i brani più rappresentativi degli Steely Dan figurano "Reelin' in the Years", "Deacon Blues" e "Peg", mentre tra le sue opere soliste spicca "I.G.Y." . Fagen è considerato uno dei musicisti più influenti del rock progressivo e jazz fusion, apprezzato per la sua abilità compositiva e il suo stile vocale unico.
