Taxi!
These are American pills
I buy American pills
Sugarcoated in America
An inexpensive way
They say, they're toxic
Too many will kill
Overdosing, should not take
Much skill
The normal dose should be one
I'll take twice ten just in case
I hope I'm going to a far, far better place
One, two, three pills
Take a sip and four pills
Five, six, seven
Bet that I am not in heaven yet
Eight and nine and ten
Do it all over again
One, two, three pills
Take a sip and four pills
Five, six, seven
Bet that I am not in heaven yet
Eight and nine and ten
Do it all over again
I hope I start feelin' bad
My [?] better get worse
This sounds perverse
But I'd prefer a hearse
To fancier mobiles
Okay, I'm ready
I'm waiting, to feel
I've eaten my very last meal
I want the pills to take hold
I'm sure that I will decay
Oh, can I have a night
That's better than this day?
One, two, three pills
Take a sip and four pills
Five, six, seven
Bet that I am not in heaven yet
Eight and nine and ten
Do it all over again
One, two, three pills
Take a sip and four pills
Five, six, seven
Bet that I am not in heaven yet
Eight and nine and ten
Do it all over again
Time passes
[?] again
Who'll salute me
If I've thrown my life away?
Hey-ey-ey
Time passes
Oh, time passes
One hour, two hours, three hours, four
As slow as molasses
Time passes
God damn American pills
Don't buy American pills
They don't kill you when they say they will
Because, of where, they're made
My feet are springy
My future looks bright
Can't this country
Do anything right?
I won't have flowers galore
I won't have rouge on my face
I won't be going to a far, far better place
One, two, three pills
Take a sip and four pills
Five, six, seven
Say that I am not in heaven yet
Eight and nine and ten
Do it all over again
One, two, three
Four
Five, six, seven
Eight, nine, ten
Do it all over again
One, two, three pills
Take a sip and four pills
Five, six, seven
Bet that I am not in heaven yet
Eight and nine and ten
Do it all over
Ah, do it all over
Ah, do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do
Do it all over again
