Any news was good news |
|
And the feelin' was bad at home |
|
I was out of mind and you were on the phone |
|
Lonnie was the kingpin |
|
Back in nineteen sixty-five |
|
I was singing this song when Lonnie came alive |
|
Bring back the Boston rag |
|
Tell all your buddies that it ain't no drag |
|
Bring back the Boston rag |
|
You were lady bay side |
|
There was nothing that I could do |
|
So I pointed my car down seventh avenue |
|
Lonnie swept the playroom |
|
Then he swallowed up all he found |
|
It was forty-eight hours till Lonnie came around |
|
Bring back the Boston rag |
|
Tell all your buddies that it ain't no drag |
|
Bring back the Boston rag |
|
