YOU LOOK FRENZIED, YOU LOOK FRAZZLED
PIQUED AS ANY ALP
FLUSHED AND RUSHED AND RAZZLE-DAZZLED
DRY YOUR LIPS, DAMP YOUR SCALP
NOW I CAN SEE YOU'RE IN A RUT IN
DISARRAY
AND I'M NOT ONE TO BUTT IN
BUT IN FACT I MUST SAY
IF YOU'D TAKE IT EASY, TRUST AWHILE
DON'T LOOK BLUE, DON'T LOOK BACK
YOU'LL PULL THROUGH IN JUST AWHILE
'CAUSE YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK
