Roland the roadie met Gertrude the groupie
At a rock concert back in Bayonne
He tried to seduce her,
Said he'd introduce her to all of the Beatles and Stones
Second Verse
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
Fourth Verse
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
Break
Hey Gertie, Gertie,
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?
Fifth Verse
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
