Won't You Help Our Bottom Line?
(To be sung with Rudy Vallee to the tune
"Would You Like To Take A Walk?"
(…Mm-mm-mm. Do you think it's gonna rain?)

Hm-mm-mm,
Won't you try our newest pills?
Hm-mm-mm,
Designed to find and fix new ills?
Hm-mm-mm,
That you never knew you had
And never knew were bad
But that help our bottom line?

Ooh-ooh-ooh,
Will you mind their side effects?
Ooh-ooh-ooh,
With no guaranteed safe sex?
Ooh-ooh-ooh,
We didn't test for birth defects?
But still the FDA approves
Of the wrinkles each removes,
And they help our bottom line.

Oh, oh, oh,
Our TV ads have made you sicker?
No, no, no,
Don't you touch that TV clicker!
So, so, so,
When the fam'ly jew'ls drop off,
You'll forget you had a cough.
And you'll help our bottom line.

Oh, oh, oh,
Can't you stand a little pain?
Oh, oh, oh,
So we can finance his campaign?
Oh, oh, oh,
Just say a little prayer
You don't also lose your hair.
While we charge you somewhat more
That we charge in Bangalore,
'Cause that helps our bottom line.
