There's a
brand new medicine
that cures all ills
If you get a big bottle,
you can throw away your pills
It's called Hadacillin
and it's quite a drug
It's a boogie -woogie tonic
and it makes you want to jitterbug
I was all run down
and getting weak in the knees
I was so darn fragile
I would flutter in the breeze
But after taking two bottles,
I'm here to say
I'm a long -gone daddy
and I help cat -pop all the way
Just a teaspoon for dinner
in your old coffee cup
Makes you jumpy as a frog
and as frisky as a pup
You boogie back to work
just a -laughin' like a clown
You're a -pickin' them up
and a -settin' them down
Well, my aunt was getting sad
cause she was an old maid
She wanted to get married,
she was just a bit afraid
She took had a ceiling
and she got her a man
He never knew what hit him
and I guess he'll never understand
I was talking to a farmer
just the other day
He said the cows quit milking
and the hens won't lay
He gave him had a ceiling
and he swears up and down
That the cows give butter
and the hens lay eggs
that weigh a pound
Just a teaspoon for dinner
in your old coffee cup
Makes you jumpy as a frog
and as frisky as a pup
You boogie back to work
just a -laughin' like a clown
You're a -pickin' them up
and a -settin' them down
You say your knees are sagging
and your tongues are dragging
There's a knock in your motor
and you're heading for the wagon
You owe it to yourself,
just give it a try
Take a look in the mirror
at the newborn twinkle in your eye
Just a teaspoon for dinner in your old car
Coffee cup makes you jumpy as a frog
and as frisky as a puff.
You boogie back to work
just a -laughing like a clown.
You're a -picking them up
and a -setting them down.
