Donald Fagen H Gang Lyrics

I hear Denise is back on the outside
That's she's got a wicked plan
She's callin' in the Gong sisters again
To form the ultimate five chord band

For eight months now in that freaking cell
She's been knockin' ideas around
Now she's good and ready to make a big noise
Right here in her own hometown

[Chorus:]
Here comes the H Gang
Slammin' into Hinktown
Oh you better get off the stage boy
'cause they'll be looking for a showdown

On a moonless night they started off
On a bus called Happy Day
To bring their vision to cities and towns
Across the U.S.A.

And in every club and hall they played
The crowd knew every word
Even today folks are talkin' about
The incredible sounds they heard Here comes the H Gang
Turn on the floodlights
Get off the stage son
Unless you're ready for a kickfight

Whatever happened to the H Gang
Some say they were the best
I heard they broke up, Denise got hitched
And she's living in the Mid West.

There's a film that's in production,
The working title, "Song of Desire,"
'bout an orphan girl with this crazy red hair,
And a voice and a dream and a soul on fire

[Chorus:]
Here comes the H Gang
Slammin' into Hinktown
Oh you better get off the stage boy
'cause they'll be looking for a showdown

[Chorus:]
Here comes the H Gang
Slammin' into Hinktown
Oh you better get off the stage boy
Unless you're looking for a showdown
