Nadine (is It You?)

Nadine



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

I thought I spied my future bride a-walking up the street,

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

"Slow down, I think I see her, please let me off this bus."



[Chorus:]

Nadine, honey is that you?

Oh, Nadine. Honey, is that you?

Seems like every time I catch you Darling you got something else to do.

[Alternate last line:

Seems like every time I catch you Darling you're up to somethin' new.]



I saw her on the corner when she turned and doubled back

And started walkin' toward a coffee colored Cadillac

I was pushin' through the crowd tryin' to get to where she's at

And I was campaign shouting like a southern diplomat



[Repeat Chorus with alternate last line]



Downtown searching for her, looking all around.

Saw her gettin' in a yellow cab a-heading uptown.

I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybody's tab.

Slipped a twenty dollar bill, an' told him "Catch that yellow cab."



[Repeat Chorus with alternate last line]



She moves around like a wayward summer breeze,

go, driver, go. Go on, catch her for me, please.

Moving thru the traffic like a mounted cavalier.

Leaning out the taxi window tryin' to make her hear.



[Repeat Chorus]
