Lilly 110-140 - Dave's True Story

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™

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 scen

When the coroner cam

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™

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
