Nadine

As I got on a city bus and found a vacant seat,

I thought I saw my future bride walkin` up the street,

I shouted to the driver "hey conductor, you must slow down.

I think I see her please let me off this bus"



Nadine, honey is that you?

Oh, Nadine. Honey, is that you?

Seems like every time I see you darling you got something else to do.

(Alternate verse: Seems like every time I catch up with you, you`re up to

something new)

I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back

Started walkin` toward a coffee colored Cadillac

I was pushin`through the crowd to get to where she`s at

I was campaignin`, shouting like a southern diplomat.

Downtown searching for her, looking all around,

Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading up town.

I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybodys` tab.

Flipped a twenty-dollar bill, told him "catch that yellow cab."

She moves around like a wayward summer breeze,

Go, driver, go, go, catch her for me, please.

Moving through the traffic like a mounted cavalier

Leaning out the taxi window trying to make her hear.
