    i've recently had a yen to hear all the bizarre and nasty country-western funk that dr. hook and the medicine show collaborated with shel silverstein on in the 70s.

    Penicillin Penny,
    She's the queen of the Sunset Strip.
    If she ever gives you any
    Then you better see your doctor real quick.
    From the backseat of Cadillac cars
    To the floor of mens 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 passing through
    Better run into your house
    Or she stops and lays a little on you.
    If you ever let her in your door
    It takes 20,000,000 units or more to cure
    The love that Penicillin Penny lays on you...
