PRE-MADONNA
(Birch/Douglas) © In The Frame Music

She was such a prim and proper girl (pre-Madonna).  There was no kind of mud you could hurl (pre-Madonna).  She used to do her homework, now she don’t wanna.  She was heading for the convent (pre-Madonna).

Pre-Madonna, pre-Madonna…

She used to wear her uniform (pre-Madonna).  Cotton casuals were the norm (pre-Madonna).  She’d always tell the whole truth, Girl Guides' honour.  She used to say her prayers too (pre-Madonna).

Pre-Madonna, pre-Madonna…

She used to be as quiet as a mouse, I was worried she was growing up square, but now she sneaks out of the house, in her mother’s underwear...

She used to be in bed by nine (pre-Madonna).  She’d sit up and her eyes would shine (pre-Madonna).  She used to play her cello, now she don’t wanna.  She could have been an angel (pre-Madonna).

Pre-Madonna, pre-Madonna…
