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?

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.

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.

Hey Nineteen. (We got nothing in common.)
We can't dance together. (No, we don't talk at all.)
Please take me along when you slide on down.

(Guitar solo)

Nice.
Sure looks good.
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.
Skate a little lower now.

The Cuervo Gold,
The fine Colombian make tonight a wonderful thing.
Say it again.
The Cuervo Gold, (The Cuervo Gold)
The fine Colombian (The fine Colombian) make tonight a wonderful thing.

No, we can't dance together.
No, we don't talk at all.

(Keyboard solo)
