They say we ought to exercise
Walk up and down the stairs
Never use a Lift instead
Despite the tear and wear
I think I’ve found the answer
It’s as simple as can be
Just shake your limbs and head about
While you watch TV
But if you’re very nervous
That will do you good
Trembling with anxiety
Will circulate your blood
Or if you see men following you
Then run until they stop
They might be a fantasy
So do not call a cop
Agitation’s terrible
But even that’s ok
You won’t be able to sit down
Ot even kneel to pray
So have a nervous breakdown
You will live to ninety nine
You may not enjoy it much
But it fits my little rhyme
I suppose the answer is now plain
We have to choose our way
Loose and happy on the sands
Or shivering & trembling all day
When you die the Coffin men
Will thank you if you’r slim
It might be a real nervous breakdown
Is better than many a gym
