"Lady Madonna" lyrics - RICHIE HAVENS

Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
Who finds the money when you pay the rent?
Did you think that money was Heaven sent?

Friday night arrives without a suitcase
Sunday morning creeping like a nun
Monday's child has learned to tie his bootlegs
See how they run

Singing, Lady Madonna lying on the bed
Listen to the music runnin' through your head
'Round your head, 'round your head
Oh no, oh no

Tuesday afternoon is never ending
Wednesday morning papers didn't come
Thursday night your stocking needed mending
See how they run

Singing, Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
How you manage to make ends meet
How do you manage to make ends meet

Lady Madonna
