The Boston Rag

Any news was good news
And the feelin' was bad at home
I was out of mind and you were on the phoneLonnie was the kingpin
Back in nineteen sixty-five
I was singing this song when Lonnie came aliveBring back the Boston rag
Tell all your buddies that it ain't no drag
Bring back the Boston ragYou were lady bay side
There was nothing that I could do
So I pointed my car down seventh avenueLonnie swept the playroom
Then he swallowed up all he found
It was forty-eight hours till Lonnie came aroundBring back the Boston rag
Tell all your buddies that it ain't no drag
Bring back the Boston rag
