Letra String man The Mamas & The Papas

String man

(John Phillips and Michelle Gilliam)
I fell in love with the string man
Who played guitar in a rock and roll band.
And every night Iæ?? watch them play
But it happened at the matinee---
How I squirmed when he bent those strings,
And I screamed when he started to sing.
The way he moved and looked so groovy,
Well, ya know, he did something to me.
String man...string man...string man...string man...
So I followed the string man
Who played guitar in a string band.
And every night Iæ?? watch them play,
And they got better everyday.
Pretty soon, and what do ya think (what do you think),
Everybodyæ?¯ saying theyæ?®e the biggest thing (the biggest thing)---
Hit records and making the scene (the scene),
Sexy pictures in the fan magazines.
String man...string man...string man...string man...

I strung along with the string man;
He always called me his biggest fan.
Though he was kind, I should have known better
Than to think weæ?? always stay together.
And then one night the show was wild and loud,
And I saw a pretty girl out in the crowd.
She waved at him and caught his eye;
The way he looked at her it made me cry.
String man---
String man...string man...string man...
String man...string man...string man...
String man...string man...string man...
