We’re Not Candy PSA

Murky Memories: I’m nearly 40. And I know this song by heart.

Hey, what are we doing out of the bottle?
This is dangerous.
A little kid might come along and think we were candy,
And that would be awful because we’re medicine.
He might even eat us!

No-no-no-no!
This is serious.
We could make you delirious.
You should have a healthy fear of us.
Too much of us is dangerous.

Verse 2:
No-no-no-no!
Doctors tell the pharmacy
Types of pills that you will need,
And he knows the harm that we can be
If we’re not taken carefully.

Chorus:
No-no-no-no!
We’re not candy (believe us),
Even though we look so fine and dandy.
When you’re sick we come in handy,
But we’re not candy.
Ohhhh no.

There’s a timeless truth to what these pills have to say… it’s a shame they’re not on TV anymore.
