The Boston Rag - Steely Dan

Any news was good news

And the feeling was bad at home

I was out of mind and you

Were on the phone

Lonnie was the kingpin

Back in nineteen sixty-five

I was singing this song

When lonnie came alive

Bring back the boston rag

Tell all your buddies

That it aint no drag

Bring back the boston rag

You were lady bayside

There was nothing that I could do So I pointed my car down

Seventh avenue

Lonnie swept the playroom

And he swallowed up all he found

It was forty-eight hours til

Lonnie came around
