Excellent - like everything from PfH.

"You've got to be loved to be healthy" a song with a similar message, by Sophie Tucker is unfortunately not available on youtube. And the words aren't on the net.

I remember: There are folks who are grouchy and cranky/ their nerves are all jerky/Now look: we're all over 20, so let us talk turkey. You've got to be loved to be healthy/that's the easiest way to keep well/You don't need powders and pills/to get rid of your ills/ For that school girl complexion/you need love and affection/ You've got to be loved to be healthy/and I'm the healthiest gal around. . There are physicians, surgeons, chiropractors and masseurs/all have their favourite remedies, theories and cures/ You pay and pay and every day you keep on getting paler/The truth is you don't need a doc/ gal - what you need's a sailor.
