The Little White Pill On The Little Green Hill
Composer(s): Johnny Burke - James V. Monaco
Performer(s): Bing Crosby



I went to see a doctor
'Cause I was feeling ill
He told me to take a little red tea
And a little white pill

I followed his description
A simple one to fill
He told me I'd find a little black cup
On a little green hill

But the little white pill
Rolled down the hill
And thwarted my endeavor
It wouldn't roll up
Back to the cup
And now I'm worse than ever

Oh, I never do eat
What's sour or sweet
And never fats or starches
But the little white pill
Rolled down the hill
And gave me broken arches

Oh, I never will tame
That ancient game
Invented by the Scottish
And I've got to admit
That I should quit
And sing myself a schottische
