more difficult):

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.
