A person can develop La grippe
You can feed her all day with the Vitamin A and the Bromo Fizz
A person can develop a cold
In other words, just from waiting around for that little band of gold
With the wheezes and the sneezes and a sinus that's really a pip
Just from stalling and stalling and stalling the wedding trip
If she's tired of getting the fish-eye from the hotel clerk
Note Chronic organic syndromes toxic and hyper tense
Affecting the upper respiratory tract
From a lack of community property and a feeling she's getting too old
React with psychosomatic symptoms difficult to endure
A person can develop a cough
But the medicine never gets anywhere near where the trouble is
When they get on a train for Niagara and she can hear church bells chime
Then they get off at Saratoga for the fourteenth time
Shows a neurotic tendency see note
The compartment is air conditioned and the mood sublime
If she's getting a kind of name for herself and the name ain't his
Well a person can develop La grippe, La grippe, La post nasal drip
You can spray her wherever you figure the streptococci lurk
Involving the eye, the ear and the nose and throat
A person can develop a cold
In other words, just from worrying whether the wedding is on or off
The female remaining single just in the legal sense
You can give her a shot for whatever she's got but it just won't work
A person can develop a cough and further more
