She plays the bass guitar A red and white guitar for me While Steely Dan plays in our dreams Oh, why didn't she go after me? Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) Serpents in our hands Another decade of Steely Dan But baby, I lost your pin shot But someone gave it back to me Do you hear me? Everything will be alright Oh, hey! You know you're never on my mind Body's aching most of the time Ever since you left this all behind Oh, she plays the bass guitar Oh, we got inside the car to leave But not before she promised this Oh, the sound of music, my Beatrice And she kissed me on the cheek and said goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
