Penicillin Penny - Dr Hook & The Medicine Show


Penicillin Penny she's the queen of the sunset strip
If she ever gives you any then you better see your doctor real quick
From the back seat of Cadillac cars, to the floor of men's room bars
She's Penicillin Penny and her future's written in the stars

She's Penicillin Penny and ever since the day she came and came
They say she's had so many, she gives 'em all numbers not names
I always call her Hun' but she calls me 1001
And Penicillin Penny starts to boogie when the day is done

She's Penicillin Penny and if you ever see her passin' through
Better run into your house before she stops and lays a little on you
If you ever let her in your door it takes 20 million units
Or more to cure the love that Penicillin Penny's gonna lay on you

I don't know if any of their stuff made it to CD, but I still have some of their stuff on cassette tape.

second street and broadway
sitting in a doorway
head held in his hands
looked to all the world
like he was praying

foot wrapped in an old rag
bottle in a brown bag
I saw him try to stand
then i heard the words that he was saying

he said

[chorus]
come on carrie carry me a little farther
come on carrie carry me one more mile
I dont know where its leading to
but I know I can make it if I lean on you so
come on carrie, carry me a little
I carried you so now carry me a little
come on carrie carry me.. a little while yeah

He stumbled to his feet and he staggered down the street
to the window of a five and dime
He stopped and laughed a while at his reflection
Then i heard him shouting something 'bout a mountain
he could surely climb, if she was only there to point
the right direction

(but she aint no.. no she aint nooooo)

[chorus]

got ta' carry me! carry me carrie!
got ta' carry me
