I am looking for the lyrics of a song popular in the mid-50's called "Mostly Martha". Thanks
About format
Some songs (specially Bob Dylan's) have the character '#' in the title, but Wikimedia does not seem to accept it on the link (it cuts the string from that character). That's a problem because automatic scripts (accesing by SOAP, for example) cannot find that songs in LyricWiki. What could be the solution? perhaps escaping it with #?
