Lyrics

Went to the doctor, just the other day
Said Doctor, Doctor why am I feeling this way?
Doc said "Son I'm gonna cure your ills"
He handed me a script for some little yellow pills
And he said "Take these, as prescribed"

So I went down, to the pharmacy
Said "Mr. Druggist, can you please please help me?"
He handed me a bottle, put a label on it too
And in bold black letters, it told me what to do
And it said, "Take these, as prescribed"

When I got home, still feeling like a wreck
Another label said "Alcohol may intensify the effect"
So I took a handful, washed down with some booze
It wasn't long before I couldn't move
TO HELL WITH… "Take these, as prescribed"

When I woke up, Doc was starin in my face
Nurses & medics runnin all over the place
Looks like I landed in Emergency
Because of a simple little problem
That I failed to heed… "Take these, as prescribed”
