See how they run
Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
Saturday morning arrives without a suitcase
Sunday morning creep in like a nun
Friday's child forget to tie his suitcase
See how they run


Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder if you're having fun making ends meet


.............................................
version by the Beatles


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 creep in like a nun
Monday's child has learned to tie his bootlace
See how they run


Lady Madonna baby at your breast
Wonder how you manage to feed the rest


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 your stockings needed mending
See how they run


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