"Memorabilia" lyrics - DONALD FAGEN

DONALD FAGEN
"Memorabilia"

[Chorus - 2x:]
Have you seen the memorabilia
The rusty old memorabilia
The souvenirs of perfect doom
In the back of Louis Dakine's backroom

Have you met that lovely creature
The exceptional Ivy King
She knows just what she's after
She's got a jones for the real thing

For that vintage atomic trash
For the alien breeze
The bright white flash
From the island East of the Carolines
Lovely island

[Chorus 2x]

In a room right off the kitchen
There's an old gas centrifuge
Color film of Castle Bravo
Girl you know that shot was huge

There's a crateful of lead-lined pipes
A photo of laughing Navy types
On the island East of the carolines
Lovely island

[Chorus 2x]

There was an island
East of the Caroline
Lovely island

[Chorus 3x]
