Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

Stowing night and morning; the message is clear:
Stowing all summertime, reeling in the years.
Tears are being gathered, while a self-deemed genius
With a friend is toying, reeling in the years.

REFRAIN:
Reeling in the years, reeling in the years;
With a friend you're toying, reeling in the years.
Reeling in the years, reeling in the years.
Can you be rejoicing, reeling in the years?

Stowing away the time, stowing as clock hands go
Round and round and round; the warnings you don't hear.
Many tears are gathered; the L.A. trip is etched
In cranial cloisters, in between the ears.

REFRAIN

Going forth, post-teaching; knowing's not been mastered.
A lover's attained; the spurned one spurts out tears
But soon gets over it; resignation will come
But with goading voice sings, "reeling in the years."

REFRAIN

'The songs that are written by Steely Dan, I just can't understand.' This had me reeling.
