Springtime

Donald Fagen

Here at Laughing Pines

Where the party never ends

There's a spicy new attraction

On the Funway

You can scan yourself

For traces of old heartaches

The details of desire

Shimmering - shimmering



Yowie! - It's Connie Lee

At the wheel of her Shark-de-Ville

We're cruisin' at about a thousand miles an hour

But the car is standin' still

So good to hear that crazy laugh

To hear her whisper hold me tight

To learn to love all over again

On that warm wet April night



Chorus:

Swing out

To Lake Nostalgia

Route 5 to Laughing Pines

Get off at Funway West

Drive into Springtime

Drive into Springtime



Easter Break - '66

A shack on Cape Sincere

Mad Mona bakin' gospel candy

It was a radical year

We get a little silly

And fall into microspace

It's even better this time around

With Coltrane on the K.L.H.



[Chorus]



It's you and me honey, in a crowded booth

At the Smokehouse in the Sand

I'm dragging out some bad old gag

When you touch my hand

At 4 a.m. we go out of this place

You look absurdly sweet

We hike downtown to Avenue A

Like we own the street



[Chorus]
