National Health Lyrics

    Nervous tension, man's invention,
    Is the biggest killer that's around today
    Let the tension out or it will build and build inside
    And strike you down some day
    Nervous tension, man's invention
    Is the biggest waste of human energy
    Let the tension out, or it will surely kill
    And that will be a tragedy

    Valium helps you for a while
    But somehow valium seems to bring me down
    There's no pill i can recommend where side effects
    Aren't guaranteed to send you round the bend

    You gotta let out the tension
    With a little bit of exercise
    Loosen up your muscles
    And feel the knots in your body untie

    We oh we oh
    Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah
    Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah

    It sure beats quaaludes
    It sure beats cocaine
    Even freud recommends it
    Cos it relieves the strain

    Altogether now
    Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah
    Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah

    Some people say it sends you deaf
    Some people say it sends you blind
    Some people say it makes you old
    Some people say it blows your mind

    But i say

    If it's good for your health
    It's good for your mind
    If it keeps you together
    It's really all right
    We oh we oh

    Oh c'mon, kick the cat

    Oh oh oh oh it's the state of the national health
    Oh oh oh oh blame it on the national health

    Nervous tension, nervous tension, nervous tension
    Nervous tension. nervous tension, nervous tension
    Nervous tension, man's invention
    Is the biggest killer that's around

    Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah
    Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah an

    Valium helps you for a while
    But somehow valium seems to bring me down
    There's no pill i can recommend where side effects
    Aren't guaranteed to drive you round the bend

    I say i say

    Oh oh oh oh it's good for your health
    Keeps you together, it's the state of the national health
    Oh oh oh oh blame it on the national health
    Oh oh oh oh it's the state of the national health
    Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah
