In other words, just from waiting around for that plain little band of gold,
A person can develop a cold.
You can spray her wherever you figure the streptococci lurk,
You can give her a shot for whatever she's got but it just won't work.
If she's tired of getting the fish-eye from the hotel clerk,
A person can develop a cold.
(speaking) It says here...
(singing) The female remaining single, just in the legal sense,
Shows a neurotic tendency (see note),
See note? Note:
With psychosomatic symptoms, toxic or hypertense,
Affecting the eye, the ear, the nose and the throat.
In other words, just from wondering whether the wedding is on or off,
A person can develop a cough.
You can feed her all day with the vitamin A and the Bromo Fizz,
But the medicine never gets anywhere near where the trouble is.
If she's getting a kind of name for herself and the name ain't his,
A person can develop a cough.
And furthermore, just from stalling and stalling and stalling the wedding trip,
A person can develop la grippe.
When they get on the train for Niagra, and she can hear church bells chime,
The compartment is air-conditioned, and the mood's sublime
Then they get off at Saratoga for the fourteenth time,
A person can develop la grippe, la grippe, la post-nasal drip,
With the wheezes and the sneezes and a sinus that's really a pip!
From a lack of community property, and a feeling she's getting too old,
A person can develop a bad, bad cold!
