Oh Madalene!
They had nothing to do the day you were conceived, Madalene
When they came stumbling out, you will be coming out of the seam, Madalene
It's unintelligible, but it's inevitable you'll breathe, Madalene
It is inevitable you'll breathe, Madalene

Oh Madelene!
When all the boys and all that noise comes on the scene, Madalene
You will be breaking them up, taking them up, you will be making them into teens, Madalene
It's unintelligible, but it's inevitable you'll bleed, Madalene
It's inevitable you'll bleed Madalene

And I will owe you thirty years of advice
I will know you for the rest of my life
But don't be down when I am gone, Madalene
cause it's inevitable I'll dream (of you) Madalene
