Blinded by the light,
Revved up like a deuce,
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
Revved up like a deuce,
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
Revved up like a deuce,
Another runner in the night
Madman drummers bummers,
Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder,
Feelin' kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin',
Sneezin' and wheezin,
The calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was...
Blinded by the light,
Revved up like a deuce,
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
Revved up like a deuce,
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
Revved up like a deuce,
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
Revved up like a deuce,
Another runner in the night
Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong, play the song with the funky break"
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside
And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride
Asked me if I needed a ride
But she was...
Blinded by the light,
Revved up like a deuce,
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it through the night
She's gonna make it through the night
------ guitar solo ------
But mama, that's where the fun is
But mama, that's where the fun is
Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun
But mama, that's where the fun is
Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone, that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner, watching the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone, reminding him of romance
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was...
Blinded by the light,
Revved up like a deuce,
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
Revved up like a deuce,
Another runner in the night

The history of the jazz/R&B combo founded by South African Jewish emigre Manfred Sepse Lubowitz in London in 1962 can be divided into three parts, not counting the prog-rock group that rose to fame in 1977 with a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Blinded by the Light," Manfred Mann's Earth Band. The first incarnation began life as the Mann-Hugg Blues Brothers, formed by Mike Hugg and Lubowitz, who had changed his surname first to Manne and then to Mann. Paul Jones was the lead vocalist of this outfit, which changed its name to Manfred Mann upon receiving a record contract in 1963. This was the lineup responsible for "5-4-3-2-1"--rather a larger hit in Britain than elsewhere due to its status as the theme tune for Ready Steady Go!--the Bob Dylan covers "With God on Our Side" and "If You Gotta Go, Go Now," and the timeless smash "Do Wah Diddy Diddy." Jack Bruce, later of Cream, joined the band right before Paul Jones's last hit with the group, "Pretty Flamingo." In 1966 Jones left to go solo and was replaced by Mike D'Abo (it is said that among those in the running for the job was one Rod Stewart) and Bruce's spot was filled by Beatles associate Klaus Voormann. This lineup's first single was another Dylan cover, "Just Like a Woman," and by far their best-known song was "Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)"--the first commercial recording of the song that had been recorded as part of Dylan's Basement Tapes in 1967. The last, short-lived chapter of the group involved a name change to Manfred Mann Chapter Three and a reduction of the band's core back to Mann and Hugg. Two years after Manfred Mann's final recorded effort, the awkwardly titled Manfred Mann Chapter Three Volume Two, Mann formed Manfred Mann's Earth Band, who are still active. In the 1990s, members of Manfred Mann, including Paul Jones, Tom McGuinness, Mike d'Abo, and Mike Hugg, reunited without their namesake as the Manfreds, and are touring under that name to this day.
