Verse 1

She wandered through the garden fence

Said I've brought at great expense

A potion guaranteed to bring

Relief from all your suffering

[2: And] though I said you don't exist

She grasped me firmly by the wrist

Threw me down upon my back

Strapped me to her torture rack

And without further argument

I found my mind was also bent

Upon a course so devious

It only made my torment worse

Verse 2

She said I see you cannot speak

Is it your voice that is too weak

Is it your tongue that is to blame

Maybe you cannot speak for shame

Or has your brain been idle too

Now it will not think for you

I hastened to make my reply

Found that I could only lie

[3: And] Like a fool I believed myself

And thought I was somebody else

She could see what I was then

And left me on my own again
