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
