Famous Groupies

Wings · London Town [1978]

All stand back, let the people see

Take a snap of the famous groupies for me



Behold the famous groupies

They are alike as two peas

And where the other goes, the other goes



But though the famous groupies

Are only paid in Rupees

Nobody knows what the famous groupies know

And nobody goes where the famous groupies go



There was a bongo player

Who kept an extra layer

Of dunlopillo mattress in his van (in his van?)



But when the famous groupies

Arrived with their twin snoopies

Nobody saw which way the poor boy ran

'Cause nobody does it like a famous groupie can



All stand back, let the people see

Take a snap of the famous groupies for me



There was a lead guitarist

Who lived in Epping Forest

And all he ever wanted to do was to blow



(Who knows why) But when the girls were with him

He never lost his rhythm

And nobody knows what the famous groupies know

Nobody goes where the famous groupies go



There was a classic story

Of a roadie nicknamed Rory

Who used to practice voodoo on the side



But when the famous twosome

Suggested something gruesome

All that they found was a crater two miles wide

Which left the muisc business absolutely horrified



All stand back, let the people see

Take a snap of the famous groupies



Ladies and gentlemen, theose magnificent examples of

Female pulchritude and luminosity, direct from their

Global perambulations to the very boards of this

Supremely magnificent proscenium arch

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you famous groupies
