MY RIVAL
Steely Dan


    The wind was driving in my face
    The smell of prickly pear
    [My rival - show me my rival]
    The milk truck eased into my space
    Somebody screamed somewhere

    I struck a match against the door
    Of Anthony's Bar and Grill
    I was the whining stranger
    A fool in love
    With time to kill

    I've got detectives on his case
    They filmed the whole charade
    [My rival - show me my rival]
    He's got a scar across his face
    He wears a hearing aid

    Sure he's a jolly roger
    Until he answers for his crime
    Yes I'll match him whim for whim now

    I still recall when I first held
    Your tiny hand in mine
    [My rival - show me my rival]
    I loved you more than I can tell
    But now it's stomping time

    Sure he's a jolly roger
    Until he answers for his crime
    Yes I'll match him whim for whim now
