Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Way back when, in '67
I was a dandy of Gamma Chi
Sweet things from Boston
So young and willing
Moved down to Scarsdale
Where the hell am I?
[Verse 2]
No, we can't dance together
No, we can't talk at all
Please take me along
When you slide on down
[Verse 3]
Hey, Nineteen
That's 'Retha Franklin
She don't remember the Queen of Soul
It's hard times befallen
The sole survivors
She thinks I'm crazy
But I'm just growing old
[Verse 4]
No, we got nothing in common
No, we can't talk at all
Please take me along
When you slide on down
[Verse 5]
The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing
The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing
(Say it again, yeah) The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing
[Verse 6]
No, we can't dance together
No, we can't talk at all
Please take me along
When you slide on down
