Violet the Organ Grinder [Controversy Music - 1991]

------------------------ [on the US maxisingle for Gett Off]

chorus:

I am Violet the Organ Grinder

and I grind all the live long day

I live for the organ, that I am grinding

I'll die, but I won't go away



I am Violet the Organ Grinder

and I grind all the live long day

I live for the organ, that I am grinding

I'll die, but I won't go away



Ooh, wait a minute, I think u better trip on this

Ooh, wait a minute, I think u better trip on this



I was on my way to another room

when an image of u sweetly

appeared in the mirror

perhaps u recall

u and I were neatly

in the middle of a Crystal Ball

that now serves as a reminder

on the wall of u and I the organ grinder

in the greatest concert of them all



I am Violet the Organ Grinder {chorus in the background}

and I grind all the live long day

I live for the organ, that I am grinding

I'll die, but I won't go away



did u know that I still have your stockings?

I keep 'em in a drawer next to your brazier

come hither, my sweet, lend me your attention,

come hither lend my your ear

I do believe that my piano was stolen

I do believe that u want me near

Well I can deal with a sucker

if he's in your mouth,

but I can't deal with insincere

I'm the one that lives in your heart

u love me, no matter what u say

swear you don't miss the organ grinder

grinding on you every day



I am Violet the Organ Grinder (I am Violet the Organ Grinder)

and I grind all the live long day (and I grind all the live long day)

(check this out)

Ooh, wait a minute, I think u better trip on this



I took all the pictures you gave me,

and I placed them right under my bed

and I pumped and I pumped

'til the 'gasm much as jumped

from my feet to the top of my head, oh boy!



I'm Violet the Organ Grinder {chorus in the background}

and I grind all the live long day

I live for the organ, that I am grinding

I'll die, but I will not go away



Ooh, wait a minute, I think u better trip on this



Like a puppy, I licked your devotion

from your neck from your eyes from your ears

when you cry, I became your emotion,

and if u ever cry like that again

I'll be here



'cause I'm Violet the Organ Grinder {chorus in the background}

and I grind all the live long day

I live for the organ, that I'm grinding

I'll die, but I won't go away



not even...

[peace to the mutha]

(who turned the mother out)



[peace to the mutha]

(who turned the mother out)



I am Violet the Organ Grinder

and I grind all the live long day

I live for the organ, that I am grinding

I'll die, but I won't go away
