(Shel Silverstein)

Now Roland the roadie was only a toadie who set up

rock concert back in Bayonne He tried to seduce,
said he'd introduce her to all of the Beatles and

So Roland the roadie got Gertrude the groupie a
seat in the balcony above And Gertrude the groupie

Roland the roadie told Gertrude the groupie to

group to come in

And some folks loves ham hocks and some folks
loves pork chops and some folks loves vegetable
soup And Roland the roadie loves Gertrude the
groupie, but Gertrude the groupie loves groups
....groups.....groups.....groups......
