Now Roland the roadie was only a toadie
|
Who set up the lights and the mics for the shows
|
And Gertrude the groupie was a rock 'n' roll fan
|
Who stood by the stage door in the rains and the snows
|
|
Ok, Roland the roadie met Gertrude the groupie
|
At a rock concert back in Bayonne...ow...
|
He tried to seduce her, 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...oh...
|
And Getrude 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 loves vegetable soup...yow...
|
And Roland the roadie loves Gertrude the groupie
|
But Gertrude the groupie loves groups
|
|
She stood up and screamed as the amber spot beamed
|
On her heroes, so skinny and tall
|
With their eyelids so droopy and Gertrude the groupie
|
Now she was in love with them all
|
|
Roland the roadie told Gertrude the groupie
|
To wait and he'd be her man...oh...
|
But while he dreamed of a rose covered home
|
She was out with the group in the van
|
|
Gerty! Gerty!
|
Come on, baby
|
Come on out here
|
I know you're in there!
|
The whole trailer's moving, baby!
|
What about me?
|
Gerty!
|
Gerty?
|
|
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...yeah...
|
And Roland the roadie loves Gertrude the groupie
|
But Gertrude the groupie loves groups, groups, groups, groups...
|
Anybody, baby, anybody...
