Oh, the problems with dating younger women ...

**

Way back when in '67
I was the dandy of Gamma Chi
Sweet things from Boston
So young and willing
Moved down to Scarsdale
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 growin' old

Hey nineteen
No, we got nothin' in common
No, we can't dance together
No, we can't talk at all
Please take me along when you slide on down

The Cuervo Gold
The fine Columbian
Make tonight a wonderful thing
(Say it again)
The Cuervo Gold
The fine Columbian
Make tonight a wonderful thing

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