Lyric sheets Martin Newell Madonna gives birth to her daughter, Lola, in September. She says that she'll be seeking a traditional English nanny. Perhaps she'd like an English butler, too...
Madonna's Butler
Milady. Madonna.
You need a British butler
We're loyal, devoted
And no one can be subtler
When answering the door
To someone you abhor
Polite but not phoney
He'll say that Miss Ciccone
Is currently instructing
Her daughter with a pony
Then having tea with pater
So kindly call back later
The butler's a fellow
Relaxed yet not too mellow
Unlikely to make comment
Because one's hair is yellow
And too steeped in discretion
To publish a confession
A butler can brighten
And socially enlighten
At wilder showbiz bashes
You'll rest assured that Crichton
Will not remove his kecks
Or join the guests for sex
I heard you were in bed
I hope you're feeling better
A butler could bring you
Some Lemsip and a sweater
I therefore enclose this
With half a dozen roses
So have I got the job then?
