[Verse 1]
BmThere’s a madman from Manhattan
E Bm EThere with a man’s hat and a floor mat made of satin..
BmBut this cat was not like this or that
E Bm EBut that which was aptly named for a man whose plan is a dime in a can downstairs for a dollar
BmIf he can win the time with a dame
E D A G AHe ain’t ashamed to holler…………
[Verse 2]
Bm E Catch a train with the name of an alphabet letter
Bm E BmHad the brains to remain with the dame right up until he let her think she was just on the brink of a breakthrough
EJust on the brink of a breakthrough
Bm E BmBut this dime in her can in the sink is enough to just make you think that it all comes down to the trust that is
Ecovered in rust that you can’t r?move
Bm ESticking around on the grounds that you know that you can’t prove
D A G A Em EA thing to a judge and a jury………………..
[Verse 3]
EAnd then of course an angel comes to him and sings
She swims under whiskey with her wings
And from the inside of a bottle with a shaft of light
She tells him with a song that it is not right
[Chorus]
G It’s not right, it’s not right
D E It’s not right now, it’s wrong
But he does not listen to her for long
[Verse 4]
EHe says madmen aren’t born, they’re cultivated
Conned by the conmen in the world the marks created
And then he cons himself
He tricks himself into thinking that he is right
[Chorus]
G It’s not right, it’s not right
D E It’s not right now, it’s wrong
But then he forgets to put it in a song
[Interlude]
