The Bear Necessities

To lighten the mood for the New Year, a little musical number for you.

You just need Chemotherapy

The simple Chemotherapy

Forget about your illness and your strife

You just need Chemotherapy

The Great War’s nasty chemistry

That brings you just a chance of living life

Wherever they treat you, wherever you roam

There’s always long periods, away from your home

The pump is bleeping on the stand

The bag is empty, ain’t it grand?

When you look down at your blood count

You can see it’s down to nowt

Or maybe just a few

The Chemotherapy for life will come to you

Will come to you

Look for the Chemotherapy

The simple Chemotherapy

Forget about your illness and your strife

You just need Chemotherapy

Carcinogenic therapy

With the Chemotherapy for life

Now when you need some medicine

It can go in your line

It may be a poison

But it will be just fine

Don’t eat your favourites, it changes your taste

If you do just watch them waste

But you don’t need to eat this food

When they can feed you through a tube!

Have I given you a clue?

The Chemotherapy for life will come to you

Will come to you

So just try and relax, yeah cool it

Fall apart on the cancer ward

'Cause let me tell you something little daughter

If you do what you're used to, uh uh

You're working too hard

And don't spend your time looking around

For something you want that can't be found

When you find out you can live without it

And go along not thinking about it

I'll tell you something true

The Chemotherapy will then have worked for you.
