It’s your first turn to sing a line in a Steely Dan song! Quick, sing the following:

“He just smiled and took my hat”

“The bag is sinking lower than the ramblers can believe”

“The girl with the Mata Hari laugh is gonna sue the saxophone”

“Careful, ‘cos I think the operator knows the name she saw”

“Harbor on, Quartermaster — the Queen of Alexandria’s still faster”

“Ostentatious, goodness gracious, was the straw hat that you wore”

“That logic was alabaster-sound, I could tell you’d take the freeways down”

“I do intend, oh yes I do intend, to shake the clock direct”

“Take the friendly scam to dinner, the aesthetic of the tease, hibernate inside the automat, teach the Dutch to earn their sleaze”

“Ask the catastrophe to catechize you, friend”

“Just take that hombre to the lounge”

“Let Clare Quilty take the wheel next, I’ll adapt him as I please”

“Marsupial complications”

“Give directions to the Golden Horde and tell them how they won”

“Long as you know the hotel detective’s skill”

“Where’s that anachronism from?”

“The scar from wheeler-dealing, kept a fellow on his face”

“Tremble out of luck, my friend, try again in Custer’s shoes”
