Now Roland the roadie was only a toadie who set up the lights and the mikes for the shows |
|
And Gertrude the groupie was a rock and roll fan, who stood by the stage door in the rains and the snows |
|
Roland the roadie met Gertrude the groupie at a rock concert back in Bayonne |
|
He tried to seduce, said he'd introduce her to all of the Beatles and Stones |
|
So Roland the roadie got Gertrude the groupie a seat in the balcony above |
|
And Gertrude the groupie felt grateful and groovy but Roland the roadie felt love |
|
And some folks loves ham hocks and some folks loves pork chops and some folks love vegetable soup |
|
But Roland the roadie loves Gertrude the groupie, but Gertrude the groupie loves groups |
|
She stood up and screamed as the amber spot gleamed on her heroes so skinny and tall |
|
With their eyelids so droopy, and Gertrude the groupie and she was in love with them all |
|
Roland the roadie told Gertrude the groupie to wait and he'd be her man |
|
But while he dreamed of a rose covered home she was out with the group in the van |
|
Hey Gertie, get out here, come on babe, come on out of there....I know you're in there... |
|
The whole trailer's moving baby....What about me....Gertie... Oh Gertie |
|
Now Roland the roadie is back on the road, his heart has been broken again |
|
And Gertrude the groupie waits out in the cold for the very next group to come in |
|
And some folks loves ham hocks and some folks loves pork chops and some folks loves vegetable soup |
|
And Roland the roadie loves Gertrude the groupie, but Gertrude the groupie loves groups |
|
....groups.....groups.....groups...... |
