Slang of Ages Lyrics
Let me put it this way doll
And I know it's getting late
I can tell from the planes of your face
That you're from out of state
But here in the Willows now here's the deal
Tomorrow's for squares—tonight's for real
Drop me off in Groovetime
Do I hear the Slang of Ages
Show me how it's done
Now did you say you were from the Netherlands
Or was that “Netherworld”?
If you grew up in Amsterdam
Then I'm the Duke of Earl
These tabs look iffy—you say they're good
Let's roll with the homeys—knock on wood
Drop me off in Groovetime
Soothe me with the slang of ages
Show me where I turn
You are part of the Dreaming
The end of my life so far?
Or something halfway in between
You ought to know
Hey—where'd you go?
Damn—she skipped dimensions
Was it something that I said?
Or something I was thinking
When she opened up my head?
Let me make it right baby—never mind how
There's a crazy little place I know called “Be There Now”
Drop me off in Groovetime
Do I hear the Slang of Ages
Show me how it's done
Drop me off in Groovetime
Soothe me with the Slang of Ages
This is where I turn
And I know it's getting late
I can tell from the planes of your face
That you're from out of state
But here in the Willows now here's the deal
Tomorrow's for squares—tonight's for real
Do I hear the Slang of Ages
Show me how it's done
Or was that “Netherworld”?
If you grew up in Amsterdam
Then I'm the Duke of Earl
These tabs look iffy—you say they're good
Let's roll with the homeys—knock on wood
Soothe me with the slang of ages
Show me where I turn
The end of my life so far?
Or something halfway in between
You ought to know
Hey—where'd you go?
Was it something that I said?
Or something I was thinking
When she opened up my head?
Let me make it right baby—never mind how
There's a crazy little place I know called “Be There Now”
Do I hear the Slang of Ages
Show me how it's done
Drop me off in Groovetime
Soothe me with the Slang of Ages
This is where I turn

This is a song about a guy trying to pick up a girl using all of the cool slang from throughout the years. It's pretty funny.
this song was the last ‘new song’ with Becker on vocals…
