Let me tell you 'bout the Manfreds

The music that they're puttin' down

They started to play

On a rainy day

The people came from miles around

They didn't come for the rhythm

They didn't come for the beat

The people of the town

Came just to stand around

See the singer lookin' sweet

Mike Hugg plays the drums yeah

Tom McGuiness plays the diamond bass

But the one in the middle

Sings "Hey diddle diddle"

God he's just a pretty face

They didn't come for the rhythm

They didn't come for the beat

The people of the town

Came just to stand around

& see the singer lookin' sweet

They couldn't have

Manfred Mann plays the organ

Mike Vickers plays guitar

& there's a geezer called Paul

Who's so thin & so tall

& sure wants to be a star

They didn't come for the rhythm

They didn't come for the beat

The people of the town

Came just to stand around

& see the singer lookin' sweet

See the singer lookin'

See the singer lookin'

See the singer lookin'

See the singer lookin'

See the singer lookin'

See the singer lookin'

Sweet
