My Old School - Steely Dan

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, now

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

Leaving like a gypsy queen

In a fairy tale
