Lyrics:
------
Medicine suckers all of the time
Cotton balls and iodine
Mommy said, "Don't you go in there."
The girl has rockets in her hair
She will be my valentine
Medicine skin all will be mine
Mommy said, "Don't go in there."
The girl has got rockets in her hair
Pills and potions and ether air
Beds and bugs all everywhere
Mommy said, "Baby don't you stare."
The girl has got rockets in her hair

NOTES:
Well, there it is. It should be correct, but little D
variation thing is probably off. The song's chorus and verses
sometime intertwine a bit, but all the stuff is there. Enjoy!
I've got a whole bunch of Orbit tabs in the works,
