It says here the average unmarried female

Basically insecure

Due to some looooong frustration may react

With psychosomatic symptoms

Difficult to endure

Affecting the upper respiratory tract

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 fisheye from the hotel clerk

A person can develop a cold

It says here the female remaining single

Just in the legal sense

Shows a neuroooootic tendency see note

Tendency see note

Oh see note

Oh oh here we go

Chronic organic syndromes

Toxic or hypertense

Involving the eye

the ear the nose and throat

In other words

Just from worrying

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 a 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 triiiip

A person can develop la grippe

When they get on the train for Niagara

And she can hear churchbells chime

The compartment is air conditioned

And the mooooooood sublime

Then they get off at Saratoga

For the fourteenth tiiiime

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

Biiiig baaaad coooooold
