Mr. Pharmacist Lyrics

Mr pharmacist
Can you help me out today
In your usual lovely way
Oh mr pharmacist I insist
That you give me some of that vitamin c
Mr pharmacist

Dear pharmacist won’t you please
Give me some energy
Mr pharmacist

Hey mr pharmacist
I’ll recommend you to my friends
They’ll be happy in the end
Mr pharmacist can you help
Send me on a ’delic kick
Mr pharmacist

Dear pharmacist use your mind
You better stock me up for the wintertime
Mr pharmacist

Hey mr pharmacist
Words cannot express
Feeling I suggest
Oh mr pharmacist I can plead
Gimme some of that powder I need
Mr pharmacist

Dear pharmacist I’ll be back
With a handful of empty sack
Mr pharmacist

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover version originally by '60s pychedelia/garage band The Other Half --if the Fall had never covered this gem, we'd all would' ve never have heard it--God Bless Mark E. & Brix Smith and co.!!!

Wow! Lucky you! =) The closest I've ever come to seeing the Fall live was a live radio simulcast from the show they did in Boston back in 1987--Brix was still in the band! We Yanks must've treated them like demi-gods; that crowd was reeeally quiet except for "Hit the North", "Hey Luciani", & "Cruiser's Creek". Then the fans go wild! No "Mr. Pharmacist", though. :( Cheers from the Pharmageek, Pharmacy Technician (see why I can relate to this song now? hehe) Portland, OR USA
