Pills - Allan Sherman

+Pills

There are pills that make you happy

There are pills that make you blue

There are pills to kill your streptococci

There are pills to cure your cockeye too

There are folks whose pills have made them healthy

There are folks whose pills have cured their chills

But the folks whose pills have made them wealthy

Are the folks who make all those pills

(There are) Dexedrine and Miltown, to pick you up and let you down

(happy) Or if you’re sufferin', swallow a Bufferin

(pills) Vitamin C’s a pill for folks who shiver

(sad) And there’s a pill for Carter’s little liver

(pills) And if you’re sleeping in the hospital, because you’re ill

(pills) Betcha the nurse will wake you up to take a sleeping pill

There are pills for young folks and for old folks

Each disease has got its remedy

But no pill can cure the common cold, folks

So if you sneeze, please don’t sneeze on me

Achoo!
