I am waiting for the man....à partir d'une chanson

filmings of Andy Warhol,1966, of the band in a rehearsal

I am waiting for my man

Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feel sick & dirty, more dead than alive
I am waiting for my man

Hey, white boy, what you doin´ uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin´ our women around?
Oh pardon me sir, it is the furthest from my mind
I am just lookin´ for a dear, dear friend of mine
I am waiting for my man

Here he comes, he has all dressed in black
PR shoes & a big straw hat
He has never early, he has always late
1st thing you learn is you always have got to wait
I am waiting for my man

Up to a Brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody´s pinned you, but nobody cares
He has got the works, gives you sweet taste
Ah then you´ve got to split because you got no time to waste
I am waiting for my man

Baby don´t you holler, darlin´ don´t you bawl & shout
I am feeling good, you know I am going to work it on out
I am feeling good, I am feeling oh so fine
Till tomorrow, but that is just some other time
I am waiting for my man

Album: The Velvet Underground & Nico (1966)
