Nadine
Chasing Nadine: A Musical Pursuit of Love and Mystery
Lyrics
As I got on a city bus and found a vacant seat
Boarding a city bus, finding an empty seat.
I thought I saw my future bride walking up the street
Thinking he sees his future bride walking on the street.
I shouted to the driver, "Hey, conductor, you must slow down
Shouting to the bus driver to slow down as he thinks he spotted her.
I think I see her please let me off this bus"
Requesting to get off the bus, believing he has seen his future bride.
Nadine, honey is that you?
Addressing the person he believes to be Nadine.
Oh, Nadine
Repeating the name "Nadine" as a question.
Honey, is that you?
Reiterating the question about the person's identity.
Seems like every time I see you
Expressing frustration that every time he sees Nadine, she's occupied.
Darling, you got something else to do
Suggesting Nadine always has something else to do.
I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back
Spotting Nadine from a distance as she turns and walks back.
And started walkin' toward a coffee colored Cadillac
Observing Nadine heading towards a coffee-colored Cadillac.
I was pushin' through the crowd to get to where she's at
Pushing through a crowd to reach Nadine.
And I was campaign shouting like a southern diplomat
Campaigning and shouting like a southern diplomat to get her attention.
Nadine, honey is that you?
Addressing Nadine again, questioning her identity.
Oh, Nadine
Repeating the name "Nadine" with uncertainty.
Honey, where are you?
Asking where Nadine is, expressing confusion.
Seems like every time I catch up with you
Noting that every time he catches up with Nadine, she's involved in something else.
You are up to something new
Speculating that Nadine is up to a new activity.
Downtown searching for her, looking all around
Searching downtown for Nadine.
Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading up town
Seeing Nadine getting into a yellow cab heading uptown.
I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybody's tab
Hailing a taxi, paying everyone's tab, instructing the driver to follow Nadine's cab.
Flipped a twenty dollar bill, told him, "Catch that yellow cab"
Flipping a twenty-dollar bill as payment for the chase.
Nadine, honey is that you?
Repeating the questioning of Nadine's identity.
Oh, Nadine
Addressing Nadine once again with uncertainty.
Honey, is that you?
Reiterating the question about Nadine's identity.
Seems like every time I catch up with you
Expressing frustration that whenever he catches up with Nadine, she's involved in something new.
You are up to something new
Suggesting Nadine is always up to something different.
She move around like a wave of summer breeze
Describing Nadine's movement as smooth and refreshing.
Go, driver, go, go, catch her for me please
Instructing the driver to catch Nadine for him.
Moving through the traffic like a mounted cavalier
Moving through traffic like a skilled horseman.
Leaning out the taxi window trying to make her hear
Leaning out of the taxi window, trying to get Nadine's attention.
Nadine, honey is that you?
Questioning Nadine's identity again.
Oh, Nadine
Repeating the name "Nadine" with uncertainty.
Honey, is that you?
Reiterating the question about Nadine's identity.
Seems like every time I see you
Noting that every time he sees Nadine, she's involved in something new.
Darling, are up to something new?
Suggesting Nadine is up to a new activity.
