Bad Sneakers Lyrics

Steely Dan Bad Sneakers

Five names that I can hardly stand to hear
Includin' yours and mine and one more chimp who isn't here
I can see the ladies talkin', how the times are gettin' hard
And that fearsome excavation on Magnolia Boulevard

Yes, I'm goin' insane and I'm laughin' at the frozen rain
Well, I'm so alone, honey, when they gonna send me home?

Bad sneakers and the pina 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 diggin' just for me

Yes, I'm goin' insane, you know I'm laughin' at the frozen rain
I feel like I'm so alone, honey, when they gonna send me home?

Bad sneakers and a pina colada, my friend
Stompin' on the avenue by Radio City
With a transistor and a large sum of money to spend

You know, goin' insane, yes, I'm laughin' at the frozen rain
And I'm so alone, honey, when they gonna send me home?

Bad sneakers and a pina colada, my friend
Stompin' on the avenue by Radio City
With a transistor and a large sum of money to spend
