Adelaide's Lament

In the style of

Guys and Dolls

Lyrics

it says here
the average unmarried female

basically insecure
due to some long

frustration may react
with psychosomatic

symptoms
difficult to endure

affecting the upper
respiratory tract

in other words just
from waiting around

for that plain little
band of gold

a person
can develop a cold

you can spray her wherever
you figure there's

streptococci lurk
you can give her a shot

for whatever's she's got
but it just won't work

if she's tired of
getting the fish eye

from the hotel clerk
a person

can develop a cold

it says here
the female remaining single

just in the legal sense
shows a neurotic tendancy

see note see note
note ah ah

chronic organic syndromes
toxic or hypertense

involving the eye the ear
the nose and throat

in other words just
from wondering whether

the wedding is on or off
a person ah ah

can develop a cough
you can feed her all day with

the vitamin a
and the bromofizz

but the medicine
never gets anywhere

near where the trouble is
if she's getting a

kind of a name
for herself and the

name ain't his
a person

can develop a cough
and further more

just from stalling and stalling
and stalling the wedding trip

a person
can develop la grippe

when they get on that train
to niagara

and she can hear
church bells chime

the compartment is
air conditioned

and the mood sublime
then they get off at saratoga

for the fourteenth time
a person

can develop la grippe
ah la grippe

la post nasal drip
with the wheezes

and the sneezes
and a sinus that's really a pip

huh huh huh huh oh argh

from a lack
of community property

and a feeling she's
getting too old

a person
can develop a bad, bad, cold
