Slang Of Ages Lyrics - Steely Dan

Let me put it this way, doll 

I know it's getting late 

I can tell from the planes of your face 

That you're from out of state 

But here in the Willows, now, here's the deal 

Tomorrow's for squares, and tonight's for real 

Drop me off in groove time 

Do you hear the slang of ages? 

Show me how it's done 

Now, did you say you were from the Netherlands 

Or was that "nether world"? 

If you grew up in Amsterdam 

Well, then I'm the Duke of Earl 

These tabs look iffy, but you say they're good 

Let's roll with the homeys and knock on wood

Drop me off in groove time 

Soothe me with the slang of ages 

Show me where I turn 

You are part of the dreaming 

The end of my life so far 

Or something halfway in between 

You ought to know 

Where'd you go? 

Where'd you go? 

Damn, she skipped dimensions 

Was it something that I said? 

Or something I was thinking 

When she opened up my head? 

Let me make it right, babe, never mind how 

There's a crazy little place I know called "Be There Now"

Drop me off in groove time 

Do you hear the slang of ages? 

Show me how it's done 

Drop me off in groove time 

Soothe me with the slang of ages 

This is where I turn 

That's right 

Slang me
