Well I've kicked around a lot since high school
I've worked a lot of nowhere gigs
From keyboard man in a rock'n ska band
To haulin' boss crude in the big rigs
Now I've come back home to plan my next move
From the comfort of my aunt faye's couch
When I see my little cousin janine walk in
All I could say was ow-ow-ouch
Chorus:
Honey how you've grown
Like a rose
Well we used to play
When we were three
How about a kiss for your cousin dupree
She turned my life into a living hell
In those little tops and tight capris
I pretended to be readin' the national probe
As I was watchin' her wax her skis
On saturday night she walked in with her date
And backs him up against the wall
I tumbled off the couch and heard myself sing
In a voice I never knew I had before
Chorus
I'll teach you everything I know
If you teach me how to do that dance
Life is short and quid pro quo
And what's so strange about a down-home family romance?
One night we're playin' gin by a cracklin' fire
And I decided to make my play
I said babe with my boyish charm and good looks
How can you stand it for one more day
She said maybe it's the skeevy look in your eyes
Or that your mind has turned to applesauce
The dreary architecture of your soul
I said - but what is it exactly turns you off?
Chorus

Gli Steely Dan sono un gruppo musicale statunitense formatosi a New York nel 1972, noto per il suo stile musicale sofisticato e inconfondibile, frutto di una fusione di jazz, rock, funk, rhythm and blues e pop. Il duo fondatore, Donald Fagen e Walter Becker, ha sempre mantenuto un'elevata attenzione alla produzione musicale, caratterizzata da arrangiamenti complessi e un suono impeccabilmente definito. La loro musica, spesso introspettiva e ricca di riferimenti culturali, ha anticipato molte delle tendenze musicali degli anni '80. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Reelin' in the Years", "Deacon Blues" e "Peg". Gli Steely Dan hanno pubblicato dieci album in studio tra il 1972 e il 1980, ottenendo un successo critico e commerciale significativo. Dopo una pausa di oltre vent'anni, la band si è riunita nel 2000 per nuove registrazioni e tour, dimostrando ancora oggi la sua capacità di affascinare un pubblico vasto e variegato.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
