Pretzel Logic - Steely Dan

I would love to tour the Southland

In a travelling minstrel show

Yes, I’d love to tour the Southland

In a traveling minstrel show

Yes, I’m dying to be a star and make them laugh

Sound just like a record on the phonograph

Those days are gone forever

Over a long time ago, oh yeah

Hey, hey!

I have never met Napoleon

But I plan to find the time

I have never met Napoleon

But I plan to find the time, yes I do

Cause he looks so fine upon that hill

They tell me he was lonely, he’s lonely still

Those days are gone forever

Over a long time ago, oh yeah

I stepped up on the platform

The man gave me the news

He said, You must be joking son

Where did you get those shoes?

Where did you get those shoes?

Well, I’ve seen 'em on the TV, the movie show

They say the times are changing but I just don’t know

These things are gone forever

Over a long time ago, oh yeah

Oh yeah, hey, hey!
