Quaaludes Again
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Shel Silverstein; Bobby Dare


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

(guitar music)

She fumbles and stumbles
And falls down the stairs
Makes love to the leg of the diningroom 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
