Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Way back when, in '67

I was the dandy of Gamma Chi

Sweet things from Boston, so young and willing

Moved down to Scarsdale

Where the hell am I?

[Verse 2]

Hey, Nineteen

(No, we can't dance together)

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 Soul Survivors

She thinks I'm crazy

But I'm just growing old

[Verse 4]

Hey, Nineteen

(No, we got nothing in common)

We can't dance together (No, we can't talk at all)

Please take me along when you slide on down

[Verse 5]

Nice

Sure looks good

Mmm, mmm, mmm

Skate a little lower now

[Verse 6]

The Cuervo Gold

The fine Columbian

Make tonight a wonderful thing

Say it again

The Cuervo Gold

The fine Columbian

Make tonight a wonderful thing

[Verse 7]

The Cuervo Gold

The fine Columbian

Make tonight a wonderful thing

[Verse 8]

No, we can't dance together

No, we can't talk at all
