Shel Silverstein Quaaludes Again
{Intro}
She falls through the doorway
Rolls down the hall
She bounces off the sofa
And walks into the wall
It's easy to see that she buckles and bends
She's doin' quaaludes again
Quaaludes again
Quaaludes again
If you've got aurora
You know for shorra
She's your friend
She's doin' quaaludes again
{Bridge}
She fumbles and stumbles
And falls down the stairs
Makes love to the leg of the dining room chair
She's ready for animals, women or men
She's doin' quaaludes again
Quaaludes again
Again
Again
Quaaludes again
If you've got a lemon, a dog and three women
Then she's your friend
She's doing quaaludes again
Quaaludes again
