Kicking off Stimulant Summer with some pointless silliness. Enjoy! 🌞 🎶🧑🏻🎤
Mrs. Murphy couldn't wake
Her energy was slightly off-beat
Until she solved her problem
With an inhaler that's yellow & green
And oooh, how her heart did pound
Until she soaked the stuff in a coffee cup
And made her neighbors scream, "Ow!"
Who put the Benzedrex
In Mrs. Murphy's Biceps?
Sure is a shame, don't know who's to blame
'Cause the old lady didn't even get his name
Where did she get that that stuff?
Now she just can't get enough
It might have been the man who wasn't there
Nah, Jack, that guy's a square!
She never ever wants to go to sleep
All she does is geek & tweak
Now Mr. Murphy don't know what she's on about
When she threw the shadow people out. Clout!
Now she wants to swing the Highland Fling
Says 'drex is the best since sliced white bread
Ah, spring it now, Gibson!
This is the second chorus, you know
The name of this chorus is called
"Who put the Fentanyl in Mr. Murphy's gen-it-als?"
I don't know
She bought a pack of Benzedrex
Most every week or so
And she always kept an extra on hand
Just in case that she'd run low
Now she's never been so zippy
Since she put the cotton in the cup
Then she opened the cabinet to see
Someone stole all her Bennies & rum. Bums!
Who put the Benzedrex
In Mrs. Murphy's Biceps?
Sure was a shame, don't know who's to blame
'Cause the old lady didn't even get his name
Where did she get that stuff?
Now she just can't get enough
It might've been the man who wasn't there
Nah, Jack, that guy's a square
She stays up all night extractin'
They say she's overdosed twice
She shoots it in her arm, lost all its charm
Mrs. Murphy died last night
Who put the Benzedrex
In Mrs. Murphy's Biceps?
Now she's in an urn, 'cause she couldn't learn
Some drugs aren't safe to inject.
Lyrics by me, not that I'm proud of it. 🙃 Based on the original "Who Put the Benzedrine in Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine?" by Harry 'The Hipster' Gibson shown below. Thought it could use an update for the current day. This version, while clearly demented & ridiculous, aims to show the progression of Benzedrex abuse and the dire consequences of injecting propylhexedrine, a drug that's particularly dangerous when used intravenously. (Benzedrine refers to amphetamine sulfate, which was the active ingredient in over-the-counter nasal inhalers prior to its removal in 1949 when it was replaced with propylhexedrine & became Benzedrex).
