Intro

      

Verse

What is it that makes me just a little bit queasy 
There's a breeze that makes my breathing not so easy 
I've had my lungs checked out with X-rays
I've smelled the hospital hallways

Chorus

Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline
Someday I'll wear pajamas in the daytime 

Verse

Times when the day seems like a play by Sartre 
When it seems a book burnings in perfect order 
I gave the doctor my description
I've tried to stick to my prescription

Chorus

Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline
Someday I'll wear pajamas in the daytime
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Afternoons will be measured out
Measured out and measured with
Coffeespoons and T.S. Eliot 

Verse

Maybe if I could do a play-by-playback 
I could change the test results that I would get back 
I've watched a summer evening pass by
I've heard the rattle in my bronchi

Chorus

Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline
Someday I'll wear pajamas in the daytime
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Afternoons will be measured out
Measured out and measured with
Coffeespoons and T.S. Eliot
