Bad Sneakers Songtext
von Steely Dan

Five names that I can
Hardly stand to hear
Including yours and mine
And one more chimp who isn′t here
I can see the ladies talking
How the times are getting hard
And that fearsome excavation
On Magnolia Boulevard

Yes, I'm going insane
And I′m laughing at the frozen rain
Well I'm so alone
Honey, when they gonna send me home?

Bad sneakers and
A Piña colada, my friend
Stomping on the avenue
By Radio City with a
Transistor and a large
Sum of money to spend


You fella, you tearing up the street
You wear that white tuxedo
How you gonna beat the heat
Do you take me for a fool
Do you think that I don't see
That ditch out in the valley
That they′re digging just for me

Yes, I′m (going insane)
You know I'm laughing at the frozen rain (laughing at the frozen rain)
And I feel like I′m so alone (so alone)
Honey, when they gonna send me home

Bad sneakers and
A Piña colada, my friend
Stomping on the avenue
By Radio City with a
Transistor and a large
Sum of money to spend

You know I'm going insane (going insane)
Yes, I′m laughing at the frozen rain (laughing at the frozen rain)
And I'm so alone (so alone)
Honey, when they gonna send me home


Bad sneakers and
A Piña Colada, my friend
Stompin′ on the avenue
By Radio City with a
Transistor and a large
Sum of money to spend
