Lyrics

The "Deacon Blues" was so much fun that I went back in for more Fagen and Becker.

I would love to have a doctorate
And a sash that I could wear
Yes I’d love to have a doctorate
And a sash that I could wear
Cuz I used to write for Style and in columnettes
Now I yack for all the straight cash that I can get
I’d hoped to be remembered
For more than just this stinkin’ show - oh yeah

I have never lunched with Sorkin
Cuz he never takes my calls
I have never lunched with Sorkin
He refused to take my calls (yes he did)
But I love his witty banter, the walk and talk
Olberman won’t divulge his number, guess I’ll just have to stalk him
I’d hope to be remembered
For more than just this stinkin’ show - oh yeah,
Hey Hey!!

"Pretzel Logic," after Steely Dan

    Brad Weiss is simply an awesome dude. Now I know he's a little, I might have to re-evaluate....

    The only thing greater than being introduced to Steely Dan are these great Steely Dan jingles. So good, Professor.

    doctorate and a sash... killed me right from the jump. The more jingles we get from blues inspired songs the better!

    I love Steely Dan. I also love classic show references. And I love this.

    Always.More.Dan. This is one of my faves. And "I have never lunched with Sorkin" is so full of snark - love it!
