You Oughta Get That Looked At
(Music by Lawrence Goldberg)
Pardon my stare
I couldn't help but be aware of your incipient malady
I want to convey...
Don't take this the wrong way...
What I mean to say is just... well... I think...
You oughta get that looked at
It seems to me it's starting to spread
It's red and looks neglected
It's infected and it's seeping
Are you keeping it clean?
'Cause that one is the worst that I've seen
And just between us...
You oughta get that looked at
It's filling up with some kind of pus
And thus I say it may be prey to
Rabies or bacterium
Let's query a medic
Ask him 'bout a quarantine
I hate to dwell but now I fear the worst
If it should swell and burst
And now the smell...well...I'm knocking wood
The way those scales are shedding can't be good
So my advice to you is...
You oughta get that looked at
And while we're at it, Friend, it never hurts to pray
I really hope you don't get too upset that
I think you oughta get that
Looked at right away
Now people stare 'cause you're attracting flies
It's sprouting hair and eyes
It moved, I swear, I warned you before
It's time to shut the blinds and lock the...
Christ, the thing just winked at me...!
You oughta get that looked at
But now it's far too late to call the A.M.A.
You'll need more than a little soap and wata
I really think you oughta get that looked at right away!
