Barbra Streisand lyrics : "Adelaide's Lament"

The average unmarried female
Basic'lly insecure
Due to some long frustration

May react
With psychosomatic symptoms
Difficult to endure

Affecting the upper respiratory tract
In other words,
Just from waiting around

For that 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
The female remaining single

Just in the legal sense
Shows a neurotic tendency
See note:

Note: Chronic organic syndromes
Toxic and hypertense
Involving the eye,

The ear and 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 name for herself
And the name ain't "his"

A person
Can develop a cough
And further more

Just from stalling
And stalling and stalling
The wedding trip

A person
Can develop La grippe
When they get on a train

For Niag'ra
And she can hear church bells chime
The compartment is air conditioned

And the mood 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!

For a lack of community property
And a feeling she's getting too old
A person

Can develop
A bad, bad cold!
