  • When I first met Doreen
    She was barely seventeen
    She was drinking whiskey sours in the bar

    The way she tossed 'em back
    I would've had a heart attack
    But as it is I let her drive my car

    We galloped through the boroughs
    Like a pair of horny thoroughbreds
    Until I said, "Stop the car, Doreen"

    Well, you can roll your eyes and nod
    But I swear that I saw God in the moonlight
    On a side street in the wreckage we call Queens

    Doreen, Doreen, last night, I had an awful dream
    You were laying in the arms of a man I'd never seen
    Come clean, Doreen, come clean, Doreen

    Well, I'm pulling into Cleveland
    In a seven-seater tour van
    There's eight of us, so I'm sleeping on the floor

    The guy that plays the banjo
    Keeps on handing me the old crow
    Which multiplies my sorrow, I can't take it anymore

    Doreen, Doreen, last night, I had an awful dream
    You were laying in the arms of a man I'd never seen
    Come clean Doreen, come clean, Doreen

    Now I'm begging and I'm pleading
    "Well pull over guys, I'm bleeding
    There's a fina off the highway with a phone"

    I'm calling you, Doreen
    But it rings and rings and rings
    Where is it that you are, if you aren't in our bed at home

    Doreen, Doreen, last night, I had an awful dream
    You were laying in the arms of a man I'd never seen
    Come clean, Doreen, come clean, Doreen
