Steady With The Maestro Lyrics - The Roches

(by George Gerdes) 

she goes steady with the maestro 

and she rosins his baton 

but when he goes out on a binge-o 

she's been known to carry on 

when the maestro goes out and paints the town 

maestro he gets very jealous 

when she talks to any other man 

and the other men's women tend to worry 

what's she got to talk about with them? 

the women worry 'bout what she wanna do 

when she's through conducting her interlude 

one time I saw her at the cafe 

she was laughin' like she just let down her hair 

the time I saw her on the sidewalk 

and her face was all flushed and filled with tears 

the time I saw her in front of the pet shop 

and the maestro and the goose and the ghost were there 

the time I saw her on her doorstep 

she invited me upstairs 

and she gave me a wooded chair 

that I sit on in my underwear
