Typewriter Torment |
| Typewriter torment, dreadful disease |
| Caught it the first day I touched the keys |
| You wear down your fingers and churn out your pap |
| It eats up your life like a dose of the clap |
| Typewriter torment it tortures me still |
| If only my doctor could see that I’m ill |
| Typewriter fever gives birth to a flood |
| It sweeps through your body and curdles your blood |
| You curse and discurse but you’re damned for all time |
| The moment your fingers give birth to a rhyme |
| Typewriter fever it harries me still |
| If only my doctor would give me a pill |
| Typewriter fever I’m worn to a stub |
| I’ve dumped my Thesaurus and pulled out the plug |
| I’m rending my ribbon and bending my spool |
| Don’t bother rewinding: I’m done with it all |
| But why can’t my doctor just say that I’m ill? |
| Typewriter fever is paying his bill |
| Typewriter fever it harries me still |
| If only my doctor would give me a pill |
