Here ya go, Kim, at least if misery loves company, this should be right up there. I dunno who wrote it, but the Juneau AK group Beer Break sings it. It follows a basic blues pattern, with parenthetical remarks spoken between lines.

PMS BLUES
(from Beer Break)

Take this newspaper 'way, Garfield is making me cry (poor Odie)
And I'm ticked off at Peanuts, and I honestly can't tell you why
L M Boyd must be thick,
this news makes me sick,
I'm just a once a month derelict

CHORUS:
I've got the PMS blues Mister, I've got 'em bad
I've got the PMS blues, and it's making me sadder than sad
You best stay clear of me
Or you just might be
Today's first PMS casualty

Well, my reputation's ruined after what happened at the grocery store (put 'em up, put'em up)
I can still see that clerk lying passed out cold on the floor (you gonna fight like a man?)
Well, what can I say?
I mean, he got in my way
The hospital says he should get out any day

CHORUS

Well, my man is in hiding I know he's around her someplace (Willie, Willie, dinner)
The last time I saw him he had a terrible look on his face
He said: Babe you're my wife,
I hate to see you have strife,
But slow and easy hand over that knife,

CHORUS

Well, there's nothing left to do but sit around and eat and moan (moan)
I just know I'd feel better if my old dog would decide to come back home (Wooser)
I didn't mean to hit him,
I was aiming at the cat
Now they're all gone and I'm just sitting here getting fat

CHORUS

... I mean you'd best stay away, at least for today
You'd best stay clear or you just might be
today's first PMS casualty
