I have never met Napoleon, but I plan to find the time.
"Pretzel Logic" is a song written by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen that was released as a single by Steely Dan from their album Pretzel Logic, originally released in 1974 by ABC Records
Fagen has stated that the lyrics, including anachronistic references to Napoleon and minstrel shows, are about time travel. According to Steely Dan FAQ author Anthony Robustelli, the "platform" referred to in the song's bridge is the time travel machine.
