Pretty Polly Possum what's wrong with you?

C D
Your body's kinda weak and you think there's nothing we can do

Good golly, Polly shame on you

Cause Molly made a stew that'll make a new little girl out of you

* 13 (G7/D) last time; occasionally 15

So follow me, its good for you
D7(no 3) G/D D
That good old fashioned Medicated Goo
D7(no 3) G/D D
Ooh, ooh, ain't it good for you
D7(no 3) G7/D D
My own homegrown recipe'll see you through

Verse 2:

Freaky Freddy Frolic had some, I know
He was last seen picking green flowers in a field of snow
Get ready, Freddy, they're sure to grow
Mother Nature just blew it and there's nothing really to it, I know

[repeat chorus]

[guitar solo over chorus chords]

Verse 3:

Auntie Franny Pritchett and Uncle Lou
They made some goo, now they really sock it to their friends
Frantic friends and neighbors charge the door
They caught a little whiff now they're digging it and seeking more

[repeat chorus]
