Down by the river that flows by the coal yards
Stands Walgreen's pharmacy with people in line
They sell a drug everybody calls Paxil
Paxil, my darling, of GlaxoSmithKline

We planned a party when June brought the summer
I couldn't wait to get Paxil inside
Now I don't see how that ever can happen
My wife says No, that my old brain is fried

Paxil, oh what can I do
I swear I'll always need you
But a drug from that place would just light up my face
So my wife won't let me take you

Each night I cry as I think of that bottle
And, pretty Paxil, I'm pacing the floor
She doesn't know that I can't live without you
Paxil, I think that I must have one more

I hear a neighbor tellin' my father
He said a bottle of Paxil was found
Floating face down in that dirty old river
That flows by the coal yards near Walgreen's in town

Paxil, oh what can I do
I swear I'll always need you
It may not be right, but I'll take two tonight
Paxil, I'm coming for you.
