(John Phillips and Michelle Gilliam)
I fell in love with the string man
Who played guitar in a rock and roll band.
And every night Iæ?? watch them play
But it happened at the matinee---
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, ya 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 Iæ?? watch them play,
And they got better everyday.
Pretty soon, and what do ya think (what do you think),
Everybodyæ?¯ saying theyæ?®e the biggest thing (the biggest thing)---
Hit records and making the scene (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 weæ?? 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...
The Mamas and the Papas furono un gruppo folk rock statunitense formatosi a Los Angeles nel 1965. Il gruppo era composto da John Phillips (voce, chitarra), Michelle Phillips (voce), Cass Elliot (voce) e Denny Doherty (voce, chitarra). Conosciuti per il loro sound armonico e le canzoni orecchiabili, The Mamas and the Papas raggiunsero la fama internazionale negli anni '60 con successi come "California Dreamin'", "Monday, Monday" e "Dedicated to the One I Love". Il gruppo si sciolse nel 1968 a causa di contrasti interni, ma tornò brevemente insieme nel 1971. Cass Elliot morì nel 1974 all'età di 32 anni. The Mamas and the Papas sono considerati uno dei gruppi folk rock più influenti degli anni '60 e la loro musica continua ad essere apprezzata oggi.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
