Steely Dan's Here at the Western World, with images of Eliot Spiter's prostitution Ring admission at room 871 Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC.


Down at the Lido they welcome you
With sausage and beer,
Klaus and the Rooster have been there too,
But lately he spends his time here.

Hanging with the mayor and all his friends
And nobody cares,
Where the sailor shuts out the sunrise
Blacked out on the stairs

Chorus:
Knock twice, rap with your cane
Feels nice, you're out of the rain
We got your skinny girl
Here at the Western World

Ruthie will give you the silver key
To open the red door:
Lay down your Jackson and you will see
The sweetness you've been crying for

In the night you hide from the madman
You're longing to be
But it all comes out on the inside
Eventually

(Chorus)

(Repeat last verse and chorus)

  • Who really cares. What's his crime? that he likes women?

  • "Likes women?" His wife is a woman, ass.

    His crime? Wire fraud. He paid a prostitute using the US Mail on the day before Valentine's day. It's a felony.

    It was reckless to put his family and the people of New York in a position where he could be blackmailed, and there's no question that he is unfit to lead a PTA let alone a state or nation (his wish).

    None of it may have happened if he were not nuts. He accused Richard Grasso of having a child out of wedlock with Grasso's secretary.

  • Great Steely Dan tune. Love Don & Walter. Interesting juxaposition with Spitzer's situation. Was that Nelson Rockefeller giving the finger at the end?

  • Yes, that is Rocky weighin in on "the Mayor and all his friends" at the end!

    Thanks for leaving me de-confused.

  • The song is about heroin, not a whorehouse.

  • if he was single i dont see anything wrong with it.

  • such a freakin great song!

  • Huh! All the times I've heard this fabulous song, and now I finally realize it's about a whorehouse.

    The "skinny girls" probably all got that way from doing too much coke. The "Jackson" would be a $20 bill, meaning this isn't exactly a high-end establishment.

    Messrs. Fagen and Becker...For the umpteenth time...You done me proud.

  • With Sausage and Beer... hanging with the mayor and all his friends.

  • I love this song so much. It reminds me of being in seventh grade in 1977.  Thanks for the memories.
