Dm   C

[Verse]
         Dm              C
She goes steady with the maestro
        Dm           C
And she rosins his baton
            Dm            C
But when he goes out on a binge-o
           Dm             C
She's been known to carry on
           Am             Dm
She's been known to carry on
         G                               C
When the maestro goes out and paints the town

[Verse]
           Dm        C
Maestro he gets very jealous
         Dm                 C
When she talks to any other man
        Dm                        C
And the other men's women tend to worry
           Dm                     C
What's she got to talk about with them?
          Am                         Dm
The women worry 'bout what she wanna do
           G                           C
When she's through conducting her interlude

[Bridge]
           Dm             C
One time I saw her at the café
        F                                   C
She was laughing like she just let down her hair
           F                  C
The time I saw her on the sidewalk
             F                               C
And her face was all flushed and filled with tears
           F                           C
The time I saw her in front of the pet shop
        F                                        C
And the maestro and the goose and the ghost were there
           F                  C
The time I saw her on her doorstep
    F            C
She invited me upstairs
       Am          Dm
She invited me upstairs
        G                C
And she gave me a wooden chair
    Am                Dm
She gave me a wooden chair
       G                 C
That I sit on in my underwear

[Verse]
          Dm              C
I used to play the second fiddle
       Dm           C
In her philharmonic hall
          Dm                  C
But now I look out for numero uno
            Dm                 C
And I don't play no violins at all
            Am                 Dm
No, I don't play no violins at all
           G                              C
I play the part of the man who crawls the wall
