1. As I got on a city bus and
found a vacant seat,
A
I thought I saw
my future bride walking up the street.
A
I shouted to the driver, ‘Hey
conductor, you must slow down,
A
I think I see her, please, let
me off the bus „
A
D A
Nadine, honey is that you ? Oh, Nadine, honey,
is that you ?
E D A
Seems like everytime I see you, darling, you
got something else to do.
A
2. I saw her from the corner
when she turned and doubled back,
A
she started walkin’ t’ward a coffee coloured Cadillac.
A
I’s pushin’ through the
crowd tryin’ to get to where she’s at,
A
and I
was campaign shoutin’ like a southern diplomat.
A
D A
Nadine, honey, is that you ? Oh, Nadine, honey,
where are you?
E
D
A
Seems like everytime I catch up with you, you
are up to something new.
A
3. Downtown searching for
her, looking all around,
A
saw her getting
in a yellow cab heading uptown.
A
I caught a loaded
taxi, paid up everybody’s tab,
A
flipped
a twenty dollar bill and told him, ‘Catch that yellow cab.!’
A
D A
Nadine, honey, is that you ? Oh, Nadine, honey,
is that you ?
E
D A
Seems like everytime I catch up with you, you
are up to something new.
A
4. She moved around like a
wayward summer breeze,
A
go,
driver, go go, catch her for me, please !
A
Moving through the traffic
like a mounted cavalier,
A
leaning out the
taxi window, trying to make her hear.
A D A
Nadine, honey, is that you ? Oh, Nadine, honey
is that you ?
E
D A
Seems like everytime I see you, darling, you
got something new.
