Gaucho Lyrics by Steely Dan

Gaucho Lyrics

    Just when I say
    'Boy we can't miss
    You are golden'
    Then you do this
    You say this guy is so cool
    Snapping his fingers like a fool
    One more expensive kiss-off
    Who do you think I am
    Lord I know you're a special friend
    But you don't seem to understand
    We got heavy rollers
    I think you should know
    Try again tomorrow

    Can't you see they're laughing at me
    Get rid off him
    I don't care what you do at home
    Would you care to explain

    Who is the gaucho amigo
    Why is he standing
    In your spangled leather poncho
    And your elevator shoes
    Bodacious cowboys
    Such as your friend
    Will never be welcome here
    High in the Custerdome

    What I tell you
    Back down the line
    I'll scratch your back
    You can scratch mine
    No he can't sleep on the floor
    What do you think I'm yelling for
    I'll drop him near the freeway
    Doesn't he have a home

    Lord I know you're a special friend
    But you refuse to understand
    You're a nasty schoolboy
    With no place to go
    Try again tomorrow

    Don't tell me he'll wait in the car
    Look at you
    Holding hands with the man from Rio
    Would you care to explain

    Who is the gaucho amigo
    Why is he standing
    In your spangled leather poncho
    With the studs that match your eyes
    Bodacious cowboys
    Such as your friend
    Will never be welcome here
    High in the Custerdome
