Lyrics Adelaide's Lament

It says here 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 there's streptococci lurk

You can give her a shot for whatever's 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

It says here the female remaining single just in the legal sense

Shows a neurotic tendancy see note see note note ah ah

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 ah ah can develop a cough

You can feed her all day with the vitamin A and the bromofizz

But the medicine never gets anywhere near where the trouble is

If she's getting a kind of a 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 that train to 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

A person can develop la grippe

Ah la grippe la post nasal drip

With the wheezes and the sneezes

And a sinus that's really a pip huh huh huh huh oh argh

From a lack of community property

And a feeling she's getting too old

A person can develop a bad, bad, cold
