Dr Hook The Medicine Show Penicillin Penny Lyrics

Penicillin Penny Lyrics

(Shel Silverstein)



Penicillin Penny she's the queen of the sunset strip

If she ever gives you any then you better see your doctor real quick

From the back seat of Cadillac cars, to the floor of men's room bars

She's Penicillin Penny and her future's written in the stars



She's Penicillin Penny and ever since the day she came and came

They say she's had so many, she gives 'em all numbers not names

I always call her Hun' but she calls me 1001

And Penicillin Penny starts to boogie when the day is done



She's Penicillin Penny and if you ever see her passin' through

Better run into your house before she stops and lays a little on you

If you ever let her in your door it takes 20 million units

Or more to cure the love that Penicillin Penny's gonna lay on you
