Lyrics Richie Havens

Richie Havens

Lady Madonna

Lady Madonna, children at your feet

Wonder how you manage to make ends meet

Who find 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

Lady Madonna, baby at your breast

Wonders how you manage to feed the rest

Pa pa pa pa,

See how they run

Lady Madonna lying on the bed

Listen to the music playing in your head

Tuesday afternoon is never ending

Wednesday morning papers didn't come

Thursday night you stocking needed mending

See how they run

Lady Madonna, children at your feet

Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
