Now There's a Cure
A few weeks back, when I took off my shoe
I peeled off my sock, and I saw something new
I went to the Doctor and what do you know
I had a little fungus on my right big toe
So he handed me some pills, then sent me on my way
And said "You'll be fine, if you just take one a day"
Well, about a week later, my foot was looking well
But I notice that those pills I took, made my left knee kinda swell
So back to the doc's, and he said " That's OK,
Take a few of these capsules, each and every day"
So I took all the pills, Yes,every last one
Then I look at my knee, and I was glad that it was done
When I woke up the next morning, I said "what the heck"
The pain in my hip, must be a dammed side-affect
The Doctor said to me "That's common in this case
Just, take two of theses and the pain won't leave a trace"
OH wow, what a wallop, they made me feel like I could fly
But then my stomach got upset and I thought I would die
Well, I drove back to the Doctor and told him how I felt
So, he gave me a prescription, that he thought would really help
When, I popped the purple pill, I felt my stomach pain subside
But my nose started running and I got real blurry-eyed
He said "I can treat this, but there's one thing you should know
The side-affect, of 'This pill', may cause a fungus on your toe"
