Nadine - Stan Ridgway

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

I thought I saw my future bride walking up the street

I shouted to the driver, «Hey, conductor, you must

Slow down, I think I see her, please, let me off the bus»

Nadine

Oh, honey, is that you

Woah, Nadine

Oh, honey, is that you

Seems every time I see you, baby, you’ve got somethin' else to do

Woah, I saw from the corner when she turned and doubled back

And started walkin' toward a coffee-colored Cadillac

Pushin' through the crowd, tryin' to get to where she’s at

I was campaign-shouting like a Southern diplomat

Chorus repeat

You’re off with someone, someone new!

Downtown, searchin' for her, lookin' all around

Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading uptown

I caught a loaded taxi, picked up everybody’s tab

Tipped a twenty dollar bill, I said «you catch that yellow cab»

Chorus repeat last line repeat x4

Eat a bean, Nadine
