As I got on a city bus and found a vacant seat

I thought I saw my future bride walking up the street

I shouted to the driver, ";Hey, conductor, you must

Slow down, I think I see her, please, let me off the bus";



Nadine

Oh, honey, is that you

Woah, Nadine

Oh, honey, is that you

Seems every time I see you, baby, you've got somethin' else to do





Woah, I saw from the corner when she turned and doubled back

And started walkin' toward a coffee-colored Cadillac

Pushin' through the crowd, tryin' to get to where she's at

I was campaign-shouting like a Southern diplomat





Chorus repeat





You're off with someone, someone new!





Downtown, searchin' for her, lookin' all around

Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading uptown

I caught a loaded taxi, picked up everybody's tab

Tipped a twenty dollar bill, I said ";you catch that yellow cab";





Chorus repeat last line repeat x4

Nadine

Make a scene

Nadine

Keep it clean

Nadine

Eat a bean, Nadine
