I fell in love with the string man

Who played guitar in a rock 'n' roll band

And every night, I'd watch them play

But it happened at the matinée

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, you 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, I watch them play

And they got better everyday

Pretty soon, and what do you think?

Everybody's saying, they're the biggest thing (the biggest thing)

Hit records and making 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 we'd 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)

String man (string man, string man)

String man (string man, string man)
