And though she's not really ill,
There's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter
Of her mother's little helper
And it helps her on her way,
Gets her through her busy day.

And they mortgaged up their life
One thing's not said too much, but I think it's true
They just get married cause there's nothing else to do.
