Famous Groupies (Rough mix with Rough vocal and Fewer Overdubs) Songtext
von Wings

All stand back, let the people see
Take a snap of the famous groupies for me

Behold the famous groupies
They are alike as two peas
And where the other goes, the other goes
But though the famous groupies
Are only paid in rupees
Nobody knows what the famous groupies know
And nobody goes where the famous groupies go

There was a bongo player
Who kept an extra layer
Of Dunlopillo mattress in his van
But when the famous groupies
Arrived with their twin snoopies
Nobody saw which way the poor boy ran
As nobody does it like a famous groupie can

Well, all stand back, let the people see
Take a snap of the famous groupies for me


There was a lead guitarist
Who lived in Epping Forest
And all he ever wanted was to blow
But when the girls were with him
He never lost his rhythm
′Cause nobody knows what the famous groupies know
And nobody

There was the classic story
Of a roadie nicknamed Rory
Who used to practice voodoo on the side
But when the famous twosome
Suggested something gruesome
All that they found was a crater two miles wide
Which left the music business absolutely horrified

All stand back, let the people see
Take a snap of the famous groupies, famous groupies
Famous groupies, famous groupies
Ladies and gentlemen (famous groupies, famous groupies)
Those magnificent examples of female pulchritude and luminosity (famous groupies, famous groupies, famous groupies, famous groupies)
Direct from their global perambulations (famous groupies, famous groupies)
To the very boards of this supremely magnificent proscenium arch (famous groupies, famous groupies, famous groupies, famous groupies)
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you (famous groupies, famous groupies)
Famous groupies!
