| Now Roland the roadie was only a toadie who set up the lights and the mikes for the shows | |
| And Gertrude the groupie was a rock and roll fan, who stood by the stage door in the rains and the snows | |
| Roland the roadie met Gertrude the groupie at a rock concert back in Bayonne | |
| He tried to seduce, said he'd introduce her to all of the Beatles and Stones | |
| So Roland the roadie got Gertrude the groupie a seat in the balcony above | |
| And Gertrude the groupie felt grateful and groovy but Roland the roadie felt love | |
| And some folks loves ham hocks and some folks loves pork chops and some folks love vegetable soup | |
| But Roland the roadie loves Gertrude the groupie, but Gertrude the groupie loves groups | |
| She stood up and screamed as the amber spot gleamed on her heroes so skinny and tall | |
| With their eyelids so droopy, and Gertrude the groupie and she was in love with them all | |
| Roland the roadie told Gertrude the groupie to wait and he'd be her man | |
| But while he dreamed of a rose covered home she was out with the group in the van | |
| Hey Gertie, get out here, come on babe, come on out of there....I know you're in there... | |
| The whole trailer's moving baby....What about me....Gertie... Oh Gertie | |
| Now Roland the roadie is back on the road, his heart has been broken again | |
| And Gertrude the groupie waits out in the cold for the very next 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...... |
