Any news was good news
and the feeling 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
chorus:
bring back the boston rag
tell all your buddies
that it ain't no drag
bring back the boston rag
You were lady bayside
there was nothing that i could do
so i pointed my car down
seventh avenue
lonnie swept the playroom
and he swallowed up all he found
it was forty-eight hours til
lonnie came around
Chorus
