[Verse 1]
Down and down she goes
Our Amanda Jones
I said down and down and down and down
She'd look really lovely at home
'Til somebody going to come up and ask her
To live happily ever after, Miss Amanda Jones

[Verse 2]
On and on she goes
Little Miss Amanda Jones
I said on and on and on and on
Just watch her as she grows
Don't want to say it very obviously
But she's losing her nobility, Miss Amanda Jones

[Chorus]
Hey girl, don't you realize
The money invested in you?
Hey girl, you've just got to find
Someone who'll really pull your family through

[Verse 3]
Up and up she goes
Our Amanda Jones
I said up and up and up and up
She looks quite delightfully stoned
She's the darling of the discotheque crowd
Of her lineage she's rightfully proud, Miss Amanda Jones

[Chorus]
Hey girl, with your nonsense nose
Pointing right down at the floor
Hey girl, your suspender shows
And the girl behind you looks a bit unsure

[Verse 4]
Round and round she goes
The world of Amanda Jones
I said round and round and round and round
The balls and the dinners and shows
The little girl, she just wanders about
'Til it's time for her coming out, Miss Amanda Jones

[Outro]
Round and round and round....

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
