Bad Sneakers

Steely Dan · Definitive Collection [2006]

Five names that I can hardly stand to hear

Including yours and mine

And one more chimp who isn't here

I can see the ladies talking how the times are getting hard

And that fearsome excavation on Magnolia Boulevard



Yes, I'm going insane, and I'm laughing at the frozen rain

Well, I'm so alone, honey when they gonna send me home

Bad sneakers and a Piña Colada, my friend

Stompin' on the avenue by Radio City

With a transistor and a large sum of money to spend



You fellah, you tearin' up the street

You wear that white tuxedo, how you gonna beat the heat

Do you take me for a fool, do you think that I don't see

That ditch out in the valley that they're digging just for me



Yes, I'm going insane

You know I'm laughing at the frozen rain

I feel like I'm so alone

Honey when they gonna send me home

Bad sneakers and a Piña Colada, my friend

Stompin' on the avenue by Radio City

With a transistor and a large sum of money to spend



You know I'm going insane

Yes, I'm laughing at the frozen rain

And I'm so alone, honey when they gonna send me home

Bad sneakers and a Piña Colada, my friend

Stompin' on the avenue by Radio City

With a transistor and a large sum of money to spend
