Hey Nineteen Lyrics

Artist: Steely Dan

Way back when in 67
I was the dandy
Of Gamma Chi
Sweet things from Boston
So young and willing
Moved down to Scarsdale
And where the hell am I

Hey Nineteen
No we can't dance together
No we can't talk at all
Please take me along
When you slide on down

Hey Nineteen
That's 'Retha Franklin
She don't remember the Queen of Soul
It's hard times befallen
The sole survivors
She thinks I'm crazy
But I'm just growing old

Hey Nineteen
No we got nothing in common
No we can't talk at all
Please take me along
When you slide on down

The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing

We can't dance together
No we can't talk at all

Loved your music for a long time. My son introduced Steely Dan music to me. Hey Nineteen is one of my favorites. I am OLD; so please tell me what is Cuervo Gold and the Fine Colombian? I know I'm crazy and I have aleady grown old (76).

Cuervo Gold is a brand of tequila and the fine Colombian is marijuana(reefer)that is grown in the country of Colombia. The reference is that these two things will make the night go smoothly.

Why the hell can't we print this off? If I know the words and like the song I'll probably buy the dambed album. Shit.
