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 
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
