THE SECOND ARRANGEMENT
Steely Dan


Pour out the wine, little girl/I've got just two friends in this 
whole wide world.
Here's to reckless lovers/We all need somebody.
Smashing in the yellow Jag/I've my life and laundry in a Gladstone 
bag.
You should know the program/Just one red rose and a tender goodbye 
(one last goodbye)

And I run to the second arrangement/it's only the natural thing.
the roue steps out, with no regrets/a sparkling conscience, a new 
address/
when i run to the second arrangement/the home of a mutual friend. 
Now's the time to redfine the first arrangement again.

It's a sticky situation, a serious affair/I must explain it to you 
somehow.
Right now, I'll just move back one square.

(guitar solo)

Old friends abandon me/it's just the routine politics of jealousy.
Someday we'll remember/just one red rose and a tender goodbye (one 
last goodbye)

(chorus repeat)
