Roland the roadie met Gertrude the groupie
At a rock concert back in Bayonne
He tried to seduce him, 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
And 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
And 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
ย
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
Roland the roadie loves Gertrude the groupie
Gertrude the groupie loves groups
Groups, groups, groups
Groups, groups, groups, groups, groups, groups, groups
Groups
In the United States, we released this record as our first single
And everybody got really sick of it
Hey, what's the matter pal?
Is everything okay?
Yeah, he's alright, I thought he was sick
Everybody said men, we're sick of this record
We play it too much, but it's an oldie now, so we'll-
That's a bird over there, shit
