25 Hundred Signing Fee"

The guy who came to see us
Who was the staff producer
At Verve,  Tom Wilson
Had other priorities and
He was dragged from The Trip
Where he was having a good
Time with some girls and watching
A famous group he was dragged from there to
The Whisky à Go-Go
And forced by Herb Cohen to
Witness one of our songs
Which happened to be a blues kind of a number
And he said, "Oh, white blues band okay
We'll sign them" and for this For 25
Hundred dollars signing fee
He signed the group and then went right
Back to the to The Trip
