Violet the Organ Grinder Songtext
von Prince & The New Power Generation

I am Violet
The organ grinder
And I grind all the live-long day
I live 4 the organ that I am grinding
I′ll die but I won't go away

(Gett off)
(Gett off)
(Gett off)
(Gett off)
I am Violet
The organ grinder
And I grind all the live-long day
I live 4 the organ that I am grinding
I′ll die but I won't go away (gett off)
Ooh, wait a minute
I think U better trip on this (gett off)


I was on my way 2 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
And it 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 (I am Violet)
The organ grinder
And I grind all the live-long day
(I grind all the live-long day)
I live 4 the organ
(I live 4 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 2 your brassiere
Come hither, my sweet
Lend me your attention
Come hither
Lend me your ear
I do believe 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 am the 1 that lives in your heart
U love me no matter what U say
Swear U don't miss the organ grinder
Grinding on U every day

I am Violet (I am Violet)
The organ grinder
And I grind all the live-long day
(I grind all the live-long day)
Gett off
Gett off
Ooh, wait a minute
I think U better trip on this

I took all the pictures U gave me
And I placed them right under my bed
And I pumped
And I pumped
′Til the 'gasm so much as jumped
From my feet 2 the top of my head
Oh, boy!

I am Violet (I am Violet)
The organ grinder (the organ grinder)
And I grind all the live-long day
(I grind all the live-long day)
I live 4 the organ that I am grinding
(I live 4 the organ that I am grinding)
I′ll die but I won't go away
(I'll die but I won′t go away)
Gett off
Gett off
Ooh, wait a minute (gett off)
I think U better trip on this (gett off)

Like a puppy (oh)
I licked your devotion (oh)
From your neck (oh)
From your eyes (oh)
From your ears (oh)
When U cried (gett off)
I became your emotion (gett off)
And if U ever cry like that again (gett off)
I′ll B here (gett off)

'Cause I am Violet (I am Violet)
The organ grinder (the organ grinder)
And I grind all the live-long day
(And I grind all the live-long day)
I live 4 the organ I am grinding
(I live 4 the organ that I am grinding)
I′ll die but I won't go away
(I′ll die but I won't go away)
Not even

(Peace)
(Peace)
(Who turn the mother out?)
(Peace)
Eat me
Ow!

I am Violet
The organ grinder (peace)
And I grind all the live-long day
I live 4 the organ that I am grinding
I′ll die but I won't go away
(Ooh)
