Lyrics

Let me put it this way, doll I know it's getting late I can tell from the planes of your face That you're from out of state But here in the Willows, now, here's the deal Tomorrow's for squares, and tonight's for real Drop me off in groove time Do you hear the slang of ages? Show me how it's done Now, did you say you were from the Netherlands Or was that "nether world"? If you grew up in Amsterdam Well, then I'm the Duke of Earl These tabs look iffy, but you say they're good Let's roll with the homeys and knock on wood Drop me off in groove time Soothe me with the slang of ages Show me where I turn You are part of the dreaming The end of my life so far Or something halfway in between You ought to know Where'd you go? Where'd you go? Damn, she skipped dimensions Was it something that I said? Or something I was thinking When she opened up my head? Let me make it right, babe, never mind how There's a crazy little place I know called "Be There Now" Drop me off in groove time Do you hear the slang of ages? Show me how it's done Drop me off in groove time Soothe me with the slang of ages This is where I turn That's right Slang me
