(by George Gerdes)





she goes steady with the maestro

and she rosins his baton

but when he goes out on a binge-o

she's been known to carry on

when the maestro goes out and paints the town



maestro he gets very jealous

when she talks to any other man

and the other men's women tend to worry

what's she got to talk about with them?

the women worry 'bout what she wanna do

when she's through conducting her interlude



one time I saw her at the cafe

she was laughin' like she just let down her hair

the time I saw her on the sidewalk

and her face was all flushed and filled with tears

the time I saw her in front of the pet shop

and the maestro and the goose and the ghost were there

the time I saw her on her doorstep

she invited me upstairs

and she gave me a wooded chair

that I sit on in my underwear



I used to play the second fiddle

in her philharmonic hall

but now I look out for numero uno

and I don't play no violins at all

I play the part of the man who crawls the wall
