Springtime Songtext
von 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


Swing out
To Lake Nostalgia
Take route 5 to Laughing Pines(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.

Swing out
To Lake Nostalgia
Take route 5 to Laughing Pines
Get off at Funway West
Drive into Springtime
Drive into Springtime

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 5 a.m. we go out of this place
You look absurdly sweet
Well we hike downtown to Avenue A
Like we own the street

Swing out
To Lake Nostalgia
Take route 5 to Laughing Pines
Get off at Funway West
Drive into Springtime

Swing out
To Lake Nostalgia
Route 5 to Laughing Pines(Laughing Pines)
Get off at Funway West
Drive into Springtime
Drive into Springtime

Drive into Springtime
Drive into Springtime
Drive into Springtime
Drive into Springtime
