** The lyrics to the title track of "Gaucho" are frequently humorous in a way reminiscent of Frank Zappa (who Becker and Fagen were fans of): "Why is he standing in your spangled yellow poncho, and your elevator shoes" and "No he can't sleep on the floor, what do you think I'm yelling for?" are two lines that spring to mind.
