Steely Dan's layered lyrics are always subject to multiple interpretations. "My Old School" reminds me to be wary of nostalgia. 🙅🏻♂️
Well, I hear the whistle, but I can't go, I'm gonna take her down to Mexico,
She said, "Oh, no! Guadalajara won't do"
Well, I did not think the girl could be so cruel,
And I'm never going back to my old school
