Steady with the Maestro — текст песни (The Roches)

(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
