Nadine Lyrics
As 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 the bus";
Nadine
Oh, honey, is that you
Woah, Nadine
Oh, honey, is that you
Seems every time I see you, baby, you've got somethin' else to do
Woah, I saw from the corner when she turned and doubled back
And started walkin' toward a coffee-colored Cadillac
Pushin' through the crowd, tryin' to get to where she's at
I was campaign-shouting like a Southern diplomat
Chorus repeat
You're off with someone, someone new!
Downtown, searchin' for her, lookin' all around
Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading uptown
I caught a loaded taxi, picked up everybody's tab
Tipped a twenty dollar bill, I said ";you catch that yellow cab";
[Chorus repeat last line repeat x4]

Interesting. Stan produced Frank Black's 'Show Me Your Tears' - which, of course, became criminally under-rated, much like Stan. The first song off that album was called . . . Nadine. I know this is a Chuck Berry cover, but the name seems to have been in Mr. Ridgway's consciousness for awhile.
