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 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 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 tryin' to get to where she's at I was campaign shouting like a southern diplomat Nadine, honey, is that you? Oh, Nadine, honey, where are you? Seems like every time I catch up with you You're up to something new 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" Nadine, honey, is that you? Oh, Nadine, honey, is that you? Seems like every time I catch up with you You're up to something new She moves around like a wave of summer breeze Go, driver, go, go, catch her for me please Moving through the traffic like a mounted cavalier Leaning out the taxi window trying to make her hear Nadine, honey, is that you? Oh, Nadine, honey, is that you? Seems like every time I see you Darling you're up to something new
