AN ILL ADVISED REFERRAL
As I got back on the excursion bus and found a vacant seat,
I thought I saw my tour guide walkin' up the street,
I shouted to the driver "hey conductor, you must slow down.
I gotta grab that lady before she makes it outta town."
Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine. Honey, is that you?
Seems like everybody books with you
Ends up gettin' screwed.
I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back
Pocketing my cash and jumpin' in a Cadillac.
I was pushin'through the crowd to get to where she's at
When I boarded that excursion I knew I smelled a rat.
Downtown searching for her, looking all around,
Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading up town.
I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybodys' tab.
Flipped a twenty-dollar bill, told him "catch that yellow cab."
She moves around like a wayward summer breeze,
Go, driver, go, go, catch her for me, please.
Moving through the traffic like a mounted cavalier
Leaning out the taxi window trying to make her hear.
You know I paid ahead of time to see the Eiffel tower,
I shoulda been suspicious when you said Id take an hour.
That tubing through the sewers tour
has got me smellin' sour.
Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine. Honey, is that you?
Seems like everybody books with you
Ends up gettin' screwed.
Apologies to Chuck Berry
