<br>

He's not a well man<br>

And he's getting worse<br>

If he had any sense<br>

He'd be in bed with a graduate nurse<br>

A couple of big specialists<br>

High priced consultation<br>

And outside waiting in the hall<br>

Assorted logic small poor relations<br>

His aches have got aches<br>

His pains are in pain<br>

And what sizzles and frizzles<br>

Inside there all the smartest professors could not explain<br>

-They wouldn't know what?<br>

Be quick as you can<br>

I might haven't got<br>

You're dealing with not (cough!)<br>

With not a well man<br>

I'm not a well man<br>

Get worse every year<br>

All the medical doctors<br>

Give one look<br>

They're amazed I'm still here<br>

I should own a pharmacy<br>

For just my prescriptions<br>

My bills for only pills alone<br>

Would chill you to the bone<br>

With conniptions<br>

What I have been through<br>

No man could recite<br>

It would make your heart break<br>

And play a story that only<br>

Turn yet it maybe could write<br>

A tragical plot<br>

How can I plan?<br>

I might haven't got<br>

You're dealing with not (cough!)<br>

With not a well man<br>

I'm not a well man<br>
