[Verse 1]
Leaving my coat at the Greyhound station
Raising my arms in supplication
Making some money, spending some money
Drinking Pepsi, just walking around
Making people hate me, making people laugh
Fear of drowning in a shallow bath
Feeling under-dressed in the cold midwest
Kissing my grandmother goodbye
Watching the crocuses bloom and fade
Easter bonnet from an old parade
Exchanging pleasantries under pleasant trees
Over griefs and apéritifs
[Chorus]
These are the days of the years of my life
[Verse 2]
American summer and it's all a breeze
Buck-tooth girls in skin-tight jeans
The mastiff heels, the accounts are solvent
I’m crooning in the open West
Meeting my baby at a greasy spoon
Sitting alone in the Rembrandt room
Walking in the shade where lilies weep
Under clouds of marzipan
Walking in the dark of Monument Valley
Stay cats in a narrow alley
The song was weird, but still they cheered
It's scrambled eggs and solitaire
Leaving my coat at the Greyhound station
Raising my arms in supplication
Making some money, spending some money
Drinking Pepsi, just walking around
Making people hate me, making people laugh
Fear of drowning in a shallow bath
Feeling under-dressed in the cold midwest
Kissing my grandmother goodbye
Watching the crocuses bloom and fade
Easter bonnet from an old parade
Exchanging pleasantries under pleasant trees
Over griefs and apéritifs
[Chorus]
These are the days of the years of my life
[Verse 2]
American summer and it's all a breeze
Buck-tooth girls in skin-tight jeans
The mastiff heels, the accounts are solvent
I’m crooning in the open West
Meeting my baby at a greasy spoon
Sitting alone in the Rembrandt room
Walking in the shade where lilies weep
Under clouds of marzipan
Walking in the dark of Monument Valley
Stay cats in a narrow alley
The song was weird, but still they cheered
It's scrambled eggs and solitaire
