I was standing still By the window sill I was thinking about my honey I'd been thrown for a loop When he'd flown the coop With my best friend, my car and my money
They were found one day In a heap of clay A tragic and sad, sad story I stayed home and cried Till the doctor arrived With his Lilly One-Ten-One-Forty™
Chorus: Woe was me I was wallowing in misery Gone astray Till that little pill saved the day
One day side by side Dr. Weiss and I Were working on my depression When my wayward past Returned home at last And burst in on our session
What an awful scene When the coroner came To collect the good doctor's body Took him several trips As I sealed my lips With some Lilly One-Ten-One-Forty™ Lilly One-Ten-One-Forty™
Chorus: Woe was me I was wallowing in misery Glory be When that little pill set me free
Sometimes I dream of an island grove Or drifting alone on the bay Sometimes I lie on a sunlight cove As my sorrows melt away
Now the trial was short For my day in court And I stood to hear the sentence But the judge was kind And he judged my mind To be both non compis and non mentis
So he closed the book Let me off the hook With a stern and judicious warning Then the bailiff came by With a ten-year supply Of Lilly One-Ten-One-Forty™ Lilly One-Ten-One-Forty™
Sometimes I dream of an island breeze Blowing the face of the sand Sometimes I'm watching the island trees As the tension leaves my hand
So whether young or old If I may be bold You can learn something from my story When you need a lift You just take the fifth With some Lilly One-Ten-One-Forty™
Woe was me I was heading straight for infamy Glory be When that little pill set me free
