Roland The Roadie And Gertrude The Groupie - Dr. Hook

Now Roland the roadie was only a toadie
who set up the lights and the mikes for the shows
And Gertrude the groupie was a rock and roll fan,
who stood by the stage door in the rains and the snows
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
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
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

Hey Gertie, get out here, 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

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......
