You can't always get what you want

I saw her today at the reception
Fibulator in her hand
I asked her what she was doing
She said she still cared about the band

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
Sustained erectile dysfunction.

And I went down to the proctologist’s office
To get my prostate checked
She said something a bit disturbing
About a hard-boiled egg.
Keeping fit is important
The key to eternal youth
Exercise regularly
Avoid substance abuse.

She asked how the kids were doing
(Grand kids I presume she meant.)
OK, I said, feel like a quicky?
Best not, she said, it’s Lent.

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get my prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Pfizer
And man, did he look ill
Blocked artery it looked like
His face was cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Pfizer
He just smiled and said...

Sing it now...

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
A good book works instead.
