Little Yellow Pill

A little bit of hash ain't no trash Mother needs that little yellow pill to keep her still L. S.D it just doesn’t agree Father works so hard, I find it sad Purple Heart, not a bad start Sister’s going to complain, boyfriend didn’t turn up again Tonight it must be speed, such greed Mother's going to bed, she’s going to rest her head I’ll try cocaine, it sends me insane Father's going to say, well son, how was it today I’ll smoke some grass, let life pass My sister has to say, you don’t look too well these days Well, it looks like it must be Babs Especially now, I’m sad Mother’s dying, Father’s crying, Sister’s ill I think it must be the little yellow pill.
