    D
Do people have a tendency to dump on you?
                                          C
Does your group have more cavities than theirs?
   D
Do all the hippies seem to get the jump on you?
                                         C
Do you sleep alone when others sleep in pairs?
             A#
Well there's no need to complain
        A
We'll eliminate your pain
        G
We can neutralize your brain
                A
You'll feel just fine now

Chorus:
       G    F         C                 D

Do figures of authority just shoot you down?
Is life within the business world a drag?
Did your boss just mention that you'd
better shop around
To find yourself a more productive bag?
Are you worried and distressed?
Can't seem to get no rest?
Put our product to the test

Chorus

A                       G
You better hurry up and order one
     E                      A
Our limited supply is very nearly gone

Do you nervously await the blows of cruel fate?
Do your checks bounce higher than a rubber ball?
Are you worried 'cause your girlfriend's
just a little late?
Are you looking for a way to chuck it all?
We can end your daily strife
At a reasonable price
You've seen it advertised in Life

Chorus:
You'll feel just fine
Now
Buy a big bright green pleasure machine
