See how they run



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 bootlace

See how they run





Lady Madonna, baby at your breast

Wonders how you manage to feed the rest





Tuesday afternoon is neverending

Wednesday morning papers didn't come

Thursday night your stockings needed mending

See how they run





Lady Madonna, lying on the bed

Listen to the music playing in your head





See how they run





Lady Madonna, children at your feet

Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
