Our reader Protectme attended the second Chicago show on July 12th, and wanted to say that the correct lyrics that Madonna sang during “Mother and Father” were:

“My father had to go to work
He didn’t have the heart to hurt”

“Just wanted to clear up any confusion. I’m from Michigan, and have had the privlege of seeing all 6 of Madonna’s tours, beginning with the Virgin Tour in Detroit when I was only 12. And to my surprise last night, once again Madonna‘s father was in the audience with me. She has made a special point on each tour to recognize him and thank him in some way, as you can see on the Virgin Tour video, the Truth Or Dare film, and the Drowned World Tour video. What an amazing experience it was to have been at all of those shows, and to know that Mr. Ciccone has been in the same audience with me on every tour!
