lyrics
V1
Sitting on the fringe of sorrow
Not such a terrible place to be
Sometimes I wish that I could only borrow
A few seconds of your company
V2
These recesses are where you lurk
Between units of speed and dance
And balding long haired men who can only smirk
These guys would kill me given half a chance
Ch
Ma Sadie knows I want you
Ma Sadie knows the score
Ma Sadie knows all about how much I need you
Ma Sadie know this is war
V3
My old best friend resides in Germany
Where he is polishing a turd
Believe only in half of everything you see
And nothing of what you heard
V4
Whiskey boys telling each other their story
Angels sit there drinking putting on weight
I pass them all by on my way to glory
I pass them all by on my way to fate
Ch
Ma Sadie knows how to please me
Ma Sadie knows how to treat me kind
Ma Sadie knows all about how you disease me
Ma Sadie knows you're always on my mind
V5
Tell my beloved she is one of God’s promises
If you're ever doing the lindyhop
Don't know when she'll stop that lawyer being my nemesis
Don't know when the words will come down from the top
V6
On the night we drank heroic quantities of red
Bulgarian I believe
I should have topped it off with sherry and then went to bed
I should have kept that final trick there up my sleeve
Ch
Ma Sadie knows how to come from another world
Ma Sadie knows how to hold her own
Ma Sadie knows I want you to be my girl
I wanna call Ma Sadie on the phone
Sitting on the fringe of sorrow
Not such a terrible place to be
Sometimes I wish that I could only borrow
A few seconds of your company
V2
These recesses are where you lurk
Between units of speed and dance
And balding long haired men who can only smirk
These guys would kill me given half a chance
Ch
Ma Sadie knows I want you
Ma Sadie knows the score
Ma Sadie knows all about how much I need you
Ma Sadie know this is war
V3
My old best friend resides in Germany
Where he is polishing a turd
Believe only in half of everything you see
And nothing of what you heard
V4
Whiskey boys telling each other their story
Angels sit there drinking putting on weight
I pass them all by on my way to glory
I pass them all by on my way to fate
Ch
Ma Sadie knows how to please me
Ma Sadie knows how to treat me kind
Ma Sadie knows all about how you disease me
Ma Sadie knows you're always on my mind
V5
Tell my beloved she is one of God’s promises
If you're ever doing the lindyhop
Don't know when she'll stop that lawyer being my nemesis
Don't know when the words will come down from the top

Ma Sadie knows how to hold her own
Ma Sadie knows I want you to be my girl
I wanna call Ma Sadie on the phone
