Stress Marks


Do you have a lot of stress, Bub?
Does it show in the lines on your face?
Those lines that you're paying to erase?

Well, relax, have I got a cure for you.
Make sure that you always wear blue.
For those lines don't like that hue,
at least for the way you feel about you.

It's all a matter of what's in your head,
unless you are already dead.
And then, it don't matter at all, cuz,
undertaker makes you look good in bed.

Do you look in the mirror and snarl?
Do you feel you didn't go the extra mile?
Have I got a cure fo electricalr you, Bub, tomorrow.

It wasn't that pregnancy you had,
it was all that good eating went bad.
When you realized that you were getting fat,
took that crash diet, just the latest fad.

But I guess it's just part of your nature,
you wear stress inside your genes.
So you might as well wear it outside,
on your stressed brand-new blue jeans.
