Your Gold Teeth Songtext
von Steely Dan

Got a feelin′ I've been here before
Watchin′ as you cross the killin' floor
You know you'll have to pay it all
You′ll pay today or pay tomorrow
You fasten up your beaded gown
Then you try to tie me down
Do you work it out one by one?
Or played in combination?

You throw out your gold teeth
Do you see how they roll?

I have seen your iron and your brass
Can′t you see it shine behind the glass?
Your fortune is your roving eye
Your mouth and legs, your gift for the runaround
Torture is the main attraction
I don't need that kind of action
You don′t have to dance for me
I've seen your dance before


Do you throw out your gold teeth?
Do you see how they roll?

Tobacco they grow in Peking
In the year of the locust, you′ll see a sad thing
Even Cathy Berberian knows
There's one roulade she can′t sing
Dumb luck my friend won't suck me in this time

Tobacco they grow in Peking
In the year of the locust, you'll see a sad thing
Even Cathy Berberian knows
There′s one roulade she can′t sing
Dumb luck my friend won't suck me in this time

Got a feeling I′ve been here before
Won't you let me help you find the door?
All you got to do is use
Your silver shoes, a gift for the runaround
Use your knack, darlin′
Take one step back, darlin'
There ain′t nothing in Chicago
For a monkey woman to do, uh-huh


Do you throw out your gold teeth?
Do you see how they roll?
