Such Sufferin'

(album: Really Rosie - 1975)

What a life it is
The hardships, the tears
The desperate years
Such suffering

Gimme a Bufferin!
And what have I got?
True, it's a lot!
But so what?
There's got to be more to being so great
To looking first-rate and staying out late
Just look at the state I'm in!

Oh!
Such suffering
My days are full of suffering and
Bufferin
I've really learned the hard way
That pastas and cakes
And french fries and steaks
Are not such great shakes
That castles in Spain
Are just a big pain
That life is inane
If you're suffering
I'm not blufferin'!

Can't wonders like me
Learn how to be
Happy and grateful
For just a mere plateful
Of life's simple goodies?
I wish it were so
But the answer is NO!
So I suffa
Get tougha
And don't get enougha
Anything
Us Super-Dupers
Are regular troopers
We give all we got
And believe it or not
That's a lot!
The standing ovations!
The keys to all nations!
Bermuda vacations!
Money! Success!
I'd settle for less
If I could stop this

SUFFERIN'!
Oh such suffering
Foo on such suffering
Poo on such suffering
Oh, nuts to all this suffering
Gimme a Bufferin
