When I was in highschool, I moved to live w/ my dad. I received some great advice from my new schools counselor. He told me not to spend too much time talking about my old school. When I moved to sunny Fla., I received similar advice from my new boss. He told me told me that nobody wanted to hear about how we did it "Up Nawth". I knew enough, when I met my lovely g.f., not to screw things up by talking about my exwife.
Get it?
I remember the thirty-five sweet goodbyes
When you put me on the Wolverine
Up to Annandale
It was still September
When your daddy was quite surprised
To find you with the working girls
In the county jail
I was smoking with the boys upstairs
When I heard about the whole affair
I said oh no
William and Mary won't do
Well I did not think the girl
Could be so cruel
And I'm never going back
To my old school
Oleanders growing outside her door
Soon they're gonna be in bloom
Up in Annandale
I can't stand her
Doing what she did before
Living like a gypsy queen
In a fairy tale
Well I hear the whistle but I can't go
I'm gonna take her down to Mexico
She said oh no
Guadalajara won't do
Well I did not think the girl
Could be so cruel
And I'm never going back
To my old school
California tumbles into the sea
That'll be the day I go
Back to Annandale
Tried to warn you
About Chino and Daddy Gee
But I can't seem to get to you
Through the U.S. Mail
Well I hear the whistle but I can't go
I'm gonna take her down to Mexico
She said oh no
Guadalajara won't do
"Charlie don't surf."
2ndCurse , I can't believe you just came out on a fishing forum and admitted that you are a yankee transplant. You've done it now.

A fellow Steely Dan fan! We're getting hard to find these days.

I fear the monkey in your soul
One of the all-time great bands,
as any major dude will tell you.
