Blinded By The Light 
As rearranged and recorded by Manfred Mann's Earth Band
[Chorus] (Repeat 3x to fade)
Ablinded Bby the Elight
Revved uAp like a Bdeuce another Erunner in the night
[Verse]
EMadman drummers bummers and IAndians in the summer with a Bteenage diplomatE  
In the dumps with the mumps as the Aadolescent pumps his Bway into his Ehat
With a boulder on my shoulder Afeelin' kinda older I Btripped the merry-go-Eround
With this very unpleasing Asneezing and wheezing the Bcalliope crashed to the Eground
the Bcalliope crashed to the Eground and she was...
[Chorus]
Ablinded Bby the Elight
Revved uAp like a Bdeuce another Erunner in the night
ABlinded Bby the Elight
[Verse]
Some siBlicone sister with her manager's mister tolAd me I got what it takEes
She said I'll turn Byou on sonny to something strong if you play that sAong with the funky breaEk
And goB-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see Aif it was safe outEside
And littBle Early-Pearly came in by her curly-wurly and aAsked me if I needed a riEde
aAsked me if I needed a riEde C#mand she was...
[Chorus]
Ablinded Bby the Elight
Revved uAp like a Bdeuce another Erunner in the night
BlAinded Bby the EliC#mght Bshe got down but she never got tight,  Ashe's gonna make iEt tAhorugEh C#mthe night
Ashe's gonna make iEt tAhorugEh C#mthe night
[Solo]
[Bridge]
BMama always told me not to look into the eyes of the suAn
Ebut mama that's where the fun Ais.....oohE  A  
[Verse]
Some Ebrimstone baritone Aanticyclone rolling Bstone preacher from the Eeast
says: "Dethrone the dictaphone, Ahit it in its funny bone, that's Bwhere they expect it leastE"
And some new-mown chaperone was Astandin' in the corner Bwatchin' the young girls Edance
EAnd some fresh-sown moonstone was Amessin' with his frozen zone Breminding him of romance
the Bcalliope crashed to the Eground and she was...
[Chorus]
Ablinded Bby the Elight
Revved uAp like a Bdeuce another Erunner in the night
BlAinded Bby the Elight
Ablinded Bby the Elight
cut Aloose like a Bdeuce another Erunner in the night
BlAinded Bby the Elight
[Outro]
Scott with a slingAshot finally found a tender Bspot and throws his lover in the Esand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not says ADaddy's within earshot save the Bbuckshot turn up the Eband
BShe got down but she never got tight Ashe's gonna' make Eit AthrouEgh C#mthe night.
