Adelaide's Lament (Reprise)

In other words

Just from sitting alone at a table reserved for two

A person can develop the flu

You can bundle her up in her woolies

And I mean the warmest brand

You can wrap her in sweaters and coats

Till it's more than her frame can stand

If she still gets the feeling she's naked

From looking at her left hand

A person can develop the flu, the flu

A hundred and three point two

So much virus inside

That her microscope slide

Looks like a day at the zoo

Just from wanting her memories in writing

And a story her folks can be told

A person can develop a cold
