(spoken) IT SAYS HERE IN THIS BOOK...
   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
   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
   (spoken) IT SAYS HERE...
   The female remaining single
   Just in the legal sense
   Shows a neurotic tendency
   (spoken) See note...see note
   Note: 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
   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 Niag'ra
   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
   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 shes getting too old
   A person
   Can develop
   A big, bad cold!
