Those Are the -- Commercial -- Breaks

I used to have Alka-Seltzer stomachs
       spitting Excedrin headaches
     Had a lot to like in a Marlboro
       even ate Aunt Jemima pancakes

     I admit -- I thought Coke was xxxtt 
       was a member of the Pepsi Generation
     Used to expect more from Standard
                                   ~ Did I ever get it?
