Key Issues

Another one by Young Dave

For Linda.

MENOPAUSAL, GUESS YOU’RE ‘BOUT ALL OUT OF MENSES
YOU'VE BEEN HAVING HOT FLASHES FOR SO LONG NOW
OH YOU'VE GOT NO SEX DRIVE, AND YOU FIND THAT YOUR BLADDER IS LEAKING
AND YOU’RE NOT REALLY SLEEPING, AND YOU LOOK LIKE A COW

YOUR ESTROGEN IS DEPLETED NOW
IN FACT IT’S CLOSE TO ZERO
YOU HEARD ABOUT SOME PILLS THAT YOU MIGHT TAKE
ANY ONE WHO STANDS YOUR MOOD SWINGS WOULD BE SOME KIND OF A HERO
BUT HE’S SAFER IF HE BRINGS YOU CHOCOLATE CAKE

MENOPAUSAL, YOU AIN'T GETTING NO YOUNGER
YOUR PAIN AND YOUR HUNGER WILL LEAVE YOU ALL ALONE
AND FREEDOM, OH FREEDOM, THAT'S JUST SOME PEOPLE TALKING
YOUR HAIR’S STARTED THINNING; YOUR SKIN’S DRY AS A BONE

NOW YOUR FEET GET COLD IN THE SUMMER TIME
YOU SWEAT LIKE A PIG THOUGH IT’S COLD OUTSIDE
YOU HATE THAT YOUR VAGINA’S SO INFLAMED
YOU URINATE WHEN YOU LAUGH OR COUGH
IT AIN’T FUNNY HOW YOU’RE FEELING OFF TODAY

MENOPAUSAL, WHY DON'T YOU GIVE UP YOUR MENSES
SAY AU REVOIR TO YOUR OVARIES AND GIVE THEM A BREAK
IT MAY BE RAINING, OR YOU MAY HAVE JUST WET YOUR PANTS
YOU BETTER GET SOME MORE RED CLOVER, GET SOME MORE RED CLOVER
GET SOME MORE RED CLOVER BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
