My Old School lyrics
by Steely Dan
I remember the thirty-five sweet goodbyesWhen you put me on the WolverineUp to AnnandaleIt was still SeptemberWhen your daddy was quite surprisedTo find you with the working girlsIn the county jailI was smoking with the boys upstairsWhen I heard about the whole affairI said oh noWilliam and Mary won't do CHORUS:Well I did not think the girlCould be so cruelAnd I'm never going backTo my old school Oleanders growing outside her doorSoon they're gonna be in bloomUp in AnnandaleI can't stand herDoing what she did beforeLiving like a gypsy queenIn a fairy taleWell I hear the whistle but I can't goI'm gonna take her down to MexicoShe said oh noGuadalajara won't do CHORUS California tumbles into the seaThat'll be the day I goBack to AnnandaleTried to warn youAbout Chino and Daddy GeeBut I can't seem to get to youThrough the U.S. MailWell I hear the whistle but I can't goI'm gonna take her down to MexicoShe said oh noGuadalajara won't do CHORUS
