Standard (EADGBE)
I got on a city bus and found a vacant seat, 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 this bus
Chorus
Nadine, honey is that you. Oh, Nadine. Honey, is that you? Seems like every
time I see you Darling you got something else to do
[Alternate verse: Seems like every time I catch you, datcha you're up to
something new]
Chorus
Downtown searching for her, looking all around. Saw her getting in a yellow
cab heading up town. I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybody's tab. With a
twenty dollar bill, told him 'catch that yellow cab.'
Chorus
She move around like a wave of summer breeze, go, driver, go, go, catch her
balmy breeze. Moving thru the traffic like a mounted cavalier. Leaning out
the taxi window trying to make her hear.
