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
LA RE
Roland the roadie met Gertrude the groupie
LA MI
at a rock concert back in Bayonne
LA RE
He tried to seduce her, said he'd introduce her
MI LA
to all of the Beatles and Stones
LA RE
So Roland the roadie got Gertrude the groupie
LA MI
a seat in the balcony above
LA RE
And Gertrude the groupie felt grateful and groovy
MI LA
but Roland the roadie felt love
MI LA
And some folks loves ham hocks and some folks loves pork chops
MI LA
And some folks love vegetable soup
MI LA
But Roland the roadie loves Gertrude the groupie
MI
But Gertrude the groupie loves groups
LA RE
She stood up and screamed as the amber spot gleamed
LA MI
on her heroes so skinny and tall
LA RE
With their eyelids so droopy, and Gertrude the groupie
MI LA
she was in love with them all
LA RE
Roland the roadie told Gertrude the groupie
LA MI
to wait and he'd be her man
LA RE
But while he dreamed of a rose covered home
MI LA
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
SI MI
Now Roland the roadie is back on the road,
SI FA#
his heart has been broken again
SI MI
And Gertrude the groupie waits out in the cold
FA# SI
for the very next group to come in
FA# SI
And some folks loves ham hocks and some folks loves pork chops
FA# SI
And some folks loves vegetable soup
FA# SI
And Roland the roadie loves Gertrude the groupie
FA# SI
but Gertrude the groupie loves groups....groups.....groups.....groups......
