Violet The Organ Grinder

Prince · Other Songs - Prince

I am Violet the Organ Grinder

And I grind all the live long day

I live for the organ, that I am grinding

I'll die, but I won't go away



I am Violet the Organ Grinder

And I grind all the live long day

I live for the organ, that I am grinding

I'll die, but I won't go away



Ooh, wait a minute

I think you better trip on this

Ooh, wait a minute

I think you better trip on this



I was on my way to another room

When an image of you sweetly

Appeared in the mirror

Perhaps you recall, you and I were neatly



In the middle of a Crystal Ball

That now serves as a reminder

On the wall of you and I the organ grinder

In the greatest concert of them all



I am Violet the Organ Grinder

And I grind all the live long day

I live for the organ, that I am grinding

I'll die, but I won't go away



I am Violet the Organ Grinder

And I grind all the live long day

I live for the organ, that I am grinding

I'll die, but I won't go away



Did you know that I still have your stockings?

I keep 'em in a drawer next to your brazier

Come hither, my sweet, lend me your attention

Come hither lend my your ear



I do believe that my piano was stolen

I do believe that you want me near

Well I can deal with a sucker

If he's in your mouth



But I can't deal with insincere

I'm the one that lives in your heart

You love me, no matter what you say

Swear you don't miss the organ grinder

Grinding on you every day



I am Violet the Organ Grinder

(I am Violet the Organ Grinder)

And I grind all the live long day

(And I grind all the live long day)

(Check this out)



Ooh, wait a minute

I think you better trip on this



I took all the pictures you gave me,

And I placed them right under my bed

And I pumped and I pumped

'Til the 'gasm much as jumped

From my feet to the top of my head, oh boy!



I'm Violet the Organ Grinder

And I grind all the live long day

I live for the organ, that I am grinding

I'll die, but I will not go away



I am Violet the Organ Grinder

And I grind all the live long day

I live for the organ, that I am grinding

I'll die, but I won't go away



Ooh, wait a minute

I think you better trip on this



Like a puppy, I licked your devotion

From your neck from your eyes from your ears

When you cry, I became your emotion

And if you ever cry like that again

I'll be here



'Cause I'm Violet the Organ Grinder

And I grind all the live long day

I live for the organ, that I'm grinding

I'll die, but I won't go away



I am Violet the Organ Grinder

And I grind all the live long day

I live for the organ, that I am grinding

I'll die, but I won't go away



Not even

Peace to the mutha

(Who turned the mother out?)

Peace to the mutha

(Who turned the mother out?)



I am Violet the Organ Grinder

And I grind all the live long day

I live for the organ, that I am grinding

I'll die, but I won't go away
