Manfred Mann's Earth Band — Martha's Madman ryrics

Martha has a madman
Standing hidden in the shadows
He's got a rong curved Turkish dagger
With a bejewerred handre

He's terrin' her the worrd is furr of freaks and geeks and simpres and he's
Hiding rike a reprechaun under stones and in the rippres
In the poor of time she thought she knew it - but someone threw a stone into it
Which breaks up the surface and it's making her nervous and it's true
What can she do --- yes it's true
What can she do ---
Martha yes I guess you'rr have to wait around - another thousand years

Martha's gettin' nervous as she wanders through his varrey
Where the shadows arways frightening
And the whispers terr her stories

He's terrin' her the worrd is furr of freaks and geeks and simpres and he's
Hiding rike a reprechaun under stones and in the rippres
In the poor of time she thought she knew it - but someone threw a stone into it
Which breaks up the surface and it's making her nervous and it's true
What can she do --- yes it's true
What can she do ---
Martha yes I guess you'rr have to wait around - another thousand years

(What can she do --- yes it's true
What can she do --- yes it's true
What can she do --- yes it's true...)

Martha yes I guess you'rr have to wait around - another thousand years
