chorus:
I am Violet the Organ Grinder
and I grind all the live long day
I live for the organ, that I am grinding
I'll die, but I won't go away

I am Violet the Organ Grinder
and I grind all the live long day
I live for the organ, that I am grinding
I'll die, but I won't go away

Ooh, wait a minute, I think u better trip on this
Ooh, wait a minute, I think u better trip on this

I was on my way to another room
when an image of u sweetly
appeared in the mirror
perhaps u recall
u and I were neatly
in the middle of a Crystal Ball
that now serves as a reminder
on the wall of u and I the organ grinder
in the greatest concert of them all

I am Violet the Organ Grinder {chorus in the background}
and I grind all the live long day
I live for the organ, that I am grinding
I'll die, but I won't go away

did u know that I still have your stockings?
I keep 'em in a drawer next to your brazier
come hither, my sweet, lend me your attention,
come hither lend my your ear
I do believe that my piano was stolen
I do believe that u want me near
Well I can deal with a sucker
if he's in your mouth,
but I can't deal with insincere
I'm the one that lives in your heart
u love me, no matter what u say
swear you don't miss the organ grinder
grinding on you every day

I am Violet the Organ Grinder (I am Violet the Organ Grinder)
and I grind all the live long day (and I grind all the live long day)
(check this out)
Ooh, wait a minute, I think u better trip on this

I took all the pictures you gave me,
and I placed them right under my bed
and I pumped and I pumped
'til the 'gasm much as jumped
from my feet to the top of my head, oh boy!

I'm Violet the Organ Grinder {chorus in the background}
and I grind all the live long day
I live for the organ, that I am grinding
I'll die, but I will not go away

Ooh, wait a minute, I think u better trip on this

Like a puppy, I licked your devotion
from your neck from your eyes from your ears
when you cry, I became your emotion,
and if u ever cry like that again
I'll be here

'cause I'm Violet the Organ Grinder {chorus in the background}
and I grind all the live long day
I live for the organ, that I'm grinding
I'll die, but I won't go away

not even...
[peace to the mutha]
(who turned the mother out)

[peace to the mutha]
(who turned the mother out)

I am Violet the Organ Grinder
and I grind all the live long day
I live for the organ, that I am grinding
I'll die, but I won't go away
