Lyrics Green Book - Steely Dan

My coat is black and the moon is yellow
Here is where I get off
As you can see for yourself, old girl
In the green gook

I tango down to the smoky lobby
My eyes adjust to the light
The new cashier looks like Jill St. John
Can that be right?

I'm rolling into the bar at Joey's
They're getting ready to close
Here she comes very, kiss me deadly
My life, my love, my third hand rose

Flash ahead to a yummy playback
Just you and me in a room
Double dreaming a page at a time
In the green book

The torso rocks and the eyes are keepers (eyes are keepers)
Now where'd we sample those legs?
I'm thinking Marilyn 4.0
In the green book

I like the neon, I love the music
Anachronistic but nice
The seamless segue from fun to fever
It's a sweet device

I'm so in love with this dirty city (dirty city)
This crazy grid of desire
The festive icons along the way, (alone the way)
The boardwalk, the lovers, the house on fire

She's kind cute but a little younger (little younger)
She's got the mood and the moves
It's kinda scary to dig yourself
In the green book

I'm so in love with this dirty city (dirty city)
This crazy grid of desire
The festive icons along the way (along the way)
The boardwalk, the lovers, the house on fire

She's kind of cute, but a little younger (little younger)
She's got the mood and the moves
It's kinda scary to dig yourself
In the green book
