Pretzel Logic lyrics by Steely Dan

I would love to tour the Southland
in a travelling minstrel show
Yes, I'd love to tour the Southland
in a traveling minstrel show

Yes, I'm dying to be a star
and make them laugh
Sounds just like a record
on the phonograph
Those days are gone forever
over a long time ago, oh yeah

I have never met Napoleon
but I plan to find the time
I have never met Napoleon
but I plan to find the time
Yes, I do

'cause he looks so fine
upon that hill
They tell me he was lonely
he's lonely still
Those days are gone forever
over a long time ago, oh yeah

I stepped upon the platform
The man gave me the news
He said, You must be joking son
Where did you get those shoes?
Where did you get those shoes?

Well, I've seen them on the TV,
the movie show
They say the times are changing, but I
just don't know
These things are gone forever
over a long time ago
Oh yeah

Oh yeah
