Manfred Mann

 Let me tell you 'bout the Manfreds
 The music that they're puttin' down
 They started to play
 On a rainy day
 & the people came from miles around

 CHORUS:
 They didn't come for the rhythm
 They didn't come for the beat
 The people of the town
 Came just to stand around
 & see the singer lookin' sweet

 Mike Hugg plays the drums, yeah
 Tom McGuiness plays the diamond bass
 But the one in the middle
 Sings "Hey diddle diddle"
 God, he's just a pretty face

 (chorus)
 They couldn't have!

 (instrumental)

 Manfred Mann plays the organ
 Mike Vickers plays guitar
 & there's a geezer called Paul
 Who's so thin & so tall
 & sure wants to be a star

 (chorus)

 (x6): See the singer lookin'...
 Sweet
