Lyrics for Hey Nineteen

Way back when in '67 I was the dandy of Gamma Chi Sweet things from Boston So young and willing Moved down to Scarsdale Where the hell am I? Hey, nineteen No, we can't dance together (We can't dance together) No, we can't talk at all Please take me along when you slide on down Hey, nineteen That's 'Retha Franklin She don't remember the Queen of Soul It's hard times befallen The sole survivors She thinks I'm crazy But I'm just growin' old Hey, nineteen No, we got nothin' common No, we can't dance together No, we can't talk at all Please take me along when you slide on down (Nice) The Cuervo Gold The fine Colombian Make tonight a wonderful thing (Say it again) The Cuervo Gold The fine Colombian Make tonight a wonderful thing The Cuervo Gold The fine Colombian Make tonight a wonderful thing No, we can't dance together No, we can't talk at all
