Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

It was on a Monday morning, I was tired, my head was turning,
\nAnd I couldn’t face the thought of going back to work and so,
\nI paid a visit to my doctor and he gave me the once over,
\nSaid \u2019don’t worry, we’ll soon have you on the go’<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nYou need pills, pills, pills and pills, pills to take the pain away,
\nJust swallow two three times a day; you’ll be as good as new,
\nAnd we’ve got pills to make you happy, pills to pep you up and calm you down,
\nIt’s magic what a pill can do<\/p>\n

So I took the dose as ordered and my energy was restored,
\nBut I was twitching, I was itching, couldn’t keep my body still,
\nSo I twitched right back to see the quack, “oh yes”, he said, “we’ll soon cure that,
\nI’ll just prescribe another little pill”<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Well the twitching soon subsided, but my eyelids wouldn’t open,
\nI was dozy, droopy, drowsy, so I asked the doctor why,
\nHe just took a little look in his now mufti-colored book,
\nThen he shook me from my slumbers with a cry<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Now my cupboard’s overflowing with the pills that keep me going,
\nI’ve got yellow, pink and orange ones; I can’t think what they’re for
\nBut they look so reassuring I suppose they must be curing me,
\nI wonder how I ever coped before without\u2026<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Now the drug firms are delighted and they say I should be knighted,
\nCos I keep their profits healthy and they’ve got a super plan,
\nTo launch a major operation to present me to the nation,
\nAs a fully working model of a well adjusted man<\/p>\n
