Famous Groupies Lyrics

Paul Mccartney

ONE, TWO,
ONE, TWO, THREE.

ALL STAND BACK, LET THE PEOPLE SEE,
TAKE A SNAP OF THE FAMOUS GROUPIES FOR ME. (YEAH)

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. (OH)

THERE WAS A BONGO PLAYER, WHO KEPT AN EXTRA LAYER,
OF DUNLOPILLO MATTRESS IN HIS VAN. (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.

WILL 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. (Who knows why, babe!)
BUT WHEN THE GIRLS WERE WITH HIM, HE NEVER LOST HIS RHYTHM,
'CAUSE NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE FAMOUS GROUPIES KNOW, (Right, girls?)
AND NOBODY DOES WHAT THE FAMOUS GROUPIES SURE DO.

OH, OH.

AH, DO THE TWIST NOW!

THERE WAS THE CLASSIC STORY OF A ROADIE NICKNAMED RORY,
WHO USED TO PRACTICE VOODOO ON THE SIDE. (Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
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, FAMOUS GROUPIES...


'LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
THOSE MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLES OF FEMALE PULCHRITUDE AND LUMINOSITY,
DIRECT FROM THEIR GLOBAL PERAMBULATIONS TO THE VERY BOARDS OF THIS
SUPREMELY MAGNIFICENT PROSCENIUM ARCH.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I GIVE YOU
FAMOUS GROUPIES.'
