PICTORIAL: Who is the Gaucho, amigo?
Just when I say "Boy we can't miss!
You are golden!"..then you do this.
You say this guy is so cool,

snapping his fingers like a fool.
One more expensive kiss-off---

Who do you think I am?

Lord, I know you're a special friend,
but you don't seem to understand.
We got heavy rollers---
I think you should know.
Try again tomorrow

Can't you see they're laughing at me?

Get rid off him!!
I don't care what you do at home!
would you care to explain...

Who is the gaucho amigo?

Why is he standing in your spangled leather poncho
and your elevator shoes?
Bodacious cowboys such as your friend

will never be welcome here, high in the Custerdome.

What I tell you back down the line?
I'll scratch your back, you can scratch mine!

No he can't sleep on the floor!
What do you think I'm yelling for?
I'll drop him near the freeway---
Doesn't he have a home?

Lord I know you're a special friend,
( )
but you refuse to understand.
You're a nasty schoolboy with no place to go.
Try again tomorrow!

Don't tell me he'll wait in the car
Look at you!!
Holding hands with the man from Rio---
Would you care to explain?

Who is the gaucho amigo?

Why is he standing in your spangled leather poncho,
with the studs that match your eyes?

Bodacious cowboys such as your friend
will never be welcome here, high in the Custerdome.

2. Damn. You've managed to do to that song what Lynch did to
'Blue Velvet' and Michael Moore did to 'Wonderful World'. It'll never "sound" the same. ;-)


Bravo!

12. where did you get the lyrics? I would love to have all Steely Dan
lyrics, I bet I could solve a few more mysteries,
