Black Friday Lyrics by Steely Dan

Showbiz Kids: The Steely Dan Story, 1972-1980

1975

[Verse 1]
When Black Friday comes
I'll stand down by the door
And catch the grey men when they
Dive from the fourteenth floor
When Black Friday comes
I'll collect everything I'm owed
And before my friends find out
I'll be on the road

[Chorus]
When Black Friday falls
You know it's got to be
Don't let it fall on me

[Verse 2]
When Black Friday comes
I'll fly down to Muswellbrook
Gonna strike all the big red words
From my little black book
Gonna do just what I please
Gonna wear no socks and shoes
With nothing to do but feed
All the kangaroos

[Chorus]
When Black Friday comes
I'll be on that hill
You know I will

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
When Black Friday comes
I'm gonna dig myself a hole
Gonna lay down in it
'Til I satisfy my soul
Gonna let the world pass by me
The Archbishop's gonna sanctify me
And if he don't come across
I'm gonna let it roll

[Chorus]
When Black Friday comes
I'm gonna stake my claim
I'll guess I'll change my name

[Instrumental Outro]
