Gaslighting Abbie

Steely Dan


One plush summer you come to me ripe and ready 
And bad through and through 
With that deep mystical soul synergy pumping steady 
Between me and you 
Lovin' all the beautiful work we've done, cara mia 
And it's barely July 
If we keep on boppin' until Labor Day 
Li'l miz Abbie - bye bye 

What will it be - some soothing herb tea? 
That might be just the thing 
Let's say we spike it with Deludin 
Or else - maybe tonight a hand of solitaire 

CHORUS: 
Flame is the game 
The game we call gaslighting Abbie 
It's a luscious invention for three 
One summer by the sea 

With the long weekend that's comin' up fast 
Let's get busy 
There's just too much to do 
That black mini looks just like the one she's been missin' 
Feels good on you 
There's a few items we need in town - allez-vous girl 
There's no time to waste 
Such as fresh cable and fifteen watt bulbs 
Couple dozen - it's a big old place 
Let's keep it light - we'll do a fright night 
With blood and everything 
Some punky laughter from the kitchen 
And then - a nice relaxing hand of solitaire 

CHORUS 

You can choose the music 
I'll set up my gear 
Later on we'll chill and watch the fireworks from here 

How can you knock this mighty spitelock 
Check out the work itself 
A mix of elegance and function 
That's right - a tweak or two and then she's out of here 

CHORUS
