[Verse 1]
Waiting for a girl who's got curlers in her hair
Waiting for a girl, she has no money anywhere
We get buses everywhere

[Chorus]
Waiting for a factory girl

[Verse 2]
Waiting for a girl, and her knees are much too fat
Waiting for a girl who wears scarves instead of hats
Her zipper's broken down the back

[Chorus]
Waiting for a factory girl

[Verse 3]
Waiting for a girl, and she gets me into fights
Waiting for a girl, we get drunk on Friday night
She's a sight for sore eyes

[Chorus]
Waiting for a factory girl

[Verse 4]
Waiting for a girl, she's got stains all down her dress
Waiting for a girl, and my feet are getting wet
She ain't come out yet

[Chorus]
Waiting for a factory girl

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
