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 This bus
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
Seems Like every time I catch you Datcha You're up To something new
I saw her From the corner When she turned And doubled back And started walkin' Toward a coffee Colored Cadillac I was pushin' Through the crowd To get To where she's at And I was campaign Shouting like A southern diplomat
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'
