So in this photo one of my favorite parts of a Steely Dan concert is starting to evolve. At this point I have lost count of how many times I have seen this band and that is of no concern to this story anyway. I guess the point is I have never tired of this song in concert! So about 2:35 just enjoy….
Walter is a great story-teller and he starts into a rant about all kinds of things related to the song. Here are the lyrics…you should go see this live…
Way back when in ‘Sixty seven
I was the dandy of Gamm 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
No we can’t talk at all
Please take me along when you slide on down
A19, 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 I’m just growing old
Hey Nineteen
No we got nothin’ in common
No we can’t talk at all
Please take me along when you slide on down
