Donald Fagen - Miss Marlene lyrics
rate meBack in Double O SevenThe Zen was QueenShe could roll like a pros When she was SeventeenWhether straight or hammeredShe was the best in townWhen she released a red ballAll the pins fall downCant you hear the balls rumble?Cant you hear the balls rumble?Miss MarleneWere still bold Every Saturday nightSaturday nightYour move to the lane, childPlayed on my heartstringsWith the long skinny legs, childAnd your hoopy ringsWhen the stakes are sky highThats when you always shineThe ball would ride a moonbeamDown the inside lineCant you hear the balls rumble? Cant you hear the balls rumble?Miss MarleneWere still bold Every Saturday nightSaturday nightAnd then, the nightSomething came uponYou were the And knew someoneHad played with your heartRan into the dark streetAt University PlaceCab came up so fast thatWe saw your laughing faceCant you hear the balls rumble?Cant you hear the balls rumble?Miss MarleneWere still bold Every Saturday nightSometimes on a league nightI catch a scent again We drop the seven downCant you hear the balls rumble? Cant you hear the balls rumble Miss MarleneWere still bold Every Saturday nightSaturday nightEvery Saturday night (x4)
