Lyric discussion by ben_wren 

Cover art for Overchewer lyrics by Anthony Newley

I submitted these lyrics - having simply transcribed them by listening... Does anyone know if I got them right?! Has anyone got a more authoritative source?!

In other news, what an incredible song, eh?

@ben_wren Thanks for introducing me to the word “Geritol”. I always heard it that way but thought I must’ve got it wrong because I didn’t know there was such a word.

I think your transcription is spot on. The only slight uncertainty for me is the line “When I'm hip”. I can’t help thing that there’s an “a” in there. I.e. “When I’m a [something that rhymes with hip]”.

Anyway, I agree this is an incredibly great song. I have it on the “Ain’t It Funny” album, which I love.

Thanks again.
