Food piled up high on plates
Washed down with wine
From vintage estates
Desert coffee
Brandy too
Apparently
Not enough for you
Everyone else feels queasy
Take it easy easy easy easy

Stressed at work
Tired at home
Couch potato,
Garden gnome
Gin and tonic
Such a delight
Especially on a weekday night
Fancy something cheesy?
Take it easy easy easy easy

Medical advice
Easy to ignore
Exercise
Dismissed as a bore
Tumultuous storm
Brewing inside
Uncontrolled
Ignored, denied
It’s ever so breezy
Take it easy easy easy easy

Bent over double
In the bedroom
Distressed
Arms tingling
Pains in chest
Paramedics take you away
“Heart attack”
You hear one say
Driven at speed
Left in care
Doctors and
Nurses waiting there
What were you thinking?
With your groin shaved bare?
“Hope nobody sees me”?
Take it easy easy easy easy ee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Funny how things turn out in life
You said “Goodbye”
To your children
Your wife
But the doctors
And nurses
Pulled you through
Now you’ve joined a gym
And you go swimming too
And avoid all things greasy
Take it easy easy easy easy
