Lady Madonna
The Beatles · Past Masters (Remastered) [2009]
Children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meat
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
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
Lady Madonna - The Beatles
"Lady Madonna" is a vibrant pop-rock track from The Beatles' 1968 album *The Beatles*, featuring the band's signature harmonies and John Lennon's distinctive vocal delivery. The song explores themes of societal pressure and conformity through the character of a young woman struggling against her mother's expectations. Its upbeat tempo and catchy melody contrast sharply with its underlying message of rebellion, making it a standout example of the group's evolution during the late 1960s. The recording showcases the band's growing confidence in studio experimentation while maintaining their core pop sensibilities. As a staple of their discography, the song remains a powerful anthem for those questioning authority and finding strength in individuality.
