"John Gray / Australia" mentioned this song on 26-Apr-2000:


PENICILLIN PENNY
Words and music by Shel Silverstein
As recorded by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show on "Belly Up!" (1973)

Penicillin Penny, she's the queen of the Sunset Strip.
If she ever give you any, then you better see your doctor real quick.
From the back seat of Cadillac cars,
To the floor of men's-room bars,
She's Penicillin Penny and her future's written in the stars.

She's Penicillin Penny, and ever since the day she came,
They say she's had so many, she gives them all numbers, not names.
I always called her "Hon,"
But she calls me "One-Thousand-and-One,"
And Penicillin Penny starts to boogie when the day is done.

She's Penicillin Penny; if you ever see her passin' through,
Better run into your house 'fore she stops and lays a little on you.
If you ever let her in your door,
It takes twenty million units or more
To cure the love that Penicillin Penny's gonna lay on you.
