Adelaide`s Lament Lyrics

Adelaide`s Lament lyrics

The average unmarried female, basically insecure

Due to some long frustration may react

React with psychosomatic symptoms difficult to endure

Affecting the upper respiratory tract



In other words, just from waiting around for that little band of gold

A person can develop a cold

You can spray her wherever you figure the streptococci lurk

You can give her a shot for whatever 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



The female remaining single just in the legal sense

Shows a neurotic tendency see note

Note Chronic organic syndromes toxic and hyper tense

Involving the eye, the ear and the nose and throat



In other words, just from worrying whether the wedding is on or off

A person can develop a cough

You can feed her all day with the Vitamin A and the Bromo Fizz

But the medicine never gets anywhere near where the trouble is

If she's getting a kind of 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 a train for 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



Well a person can develop La grippe, La grippe, La post nasal drip

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

From a lack of community property and a feeling she's getting too old

A person can develop a bad a bad a really bad cold
