Any news was good news, and the feeling was bad at home

I was out of my 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



Bring back the Boston Rag,

Tell all your buddies that it aint 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 fourty eight hours till Lonnie came around



[Chorus]

[Chorus and fade
