Razor Boy - Steely Dan

I hear you are singing a song of the past

I see no tears

I know that you know it may be the last

For many years

You’d gamble or give anything

To be in with the better half

But how many friends must I have

To begin with to make you laugh

Will you still have a song to sing

When the razor boy comes?

And take your fancy things away

Will you still be singing it

On that cold and windy day?

You know that the coming is so close at hand

You feel all right

I guess only women in cages can stand

This kind of night

I guess only women in cages

Can play down the things they lose

You think no tomorrow will come

When you lay down you can’t refuse

Will you still have a song to sing

When the razor boy comes?

And take your fancy things away

Will you still be singing it

On that cold and windy day?

I guess only women in cages

Can play down the things they lose

You think no tomorrow will come

When you lay down you can’t refuse

Will you still have a song to sing

When the razor boy comes?

And take your fancy things away

Will you still be singing it

On that cold and windy day?
