the boston rag lyrics

Any news was good news
And the feelin' was bad at home
I was out of 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 ain't no drag
Bring back the Boston rag

You were lady bay side
There was nothing that I could do
So I pointed my car down seventh avenue

Lonnie swept the playroom
Then he swallowed up all he found
It was forty-eight hours till Lonnie came around

Bring back the Boston rag
Tell all your buddies that it ain't no drag
Bring back the Boston rag
...
