Oh Wouldn't It Be Nice

Oh wouldn't it be nice,
Oh wouldn't life be bright,
If there were pills that we could take
To set our world aright?

Car won't start? Take a pill
That says “For every motor ill”,
Then right away you turn the crank —
You're off and driving to the bank!

Weedy lawn? What a shame!
But don't waste time assigning blame,
Just take a pill that says “For weeds”
to satisfy your lawn care needs.

Cloudy skies? Lack of sun
Spoiling all your weekend fun?
Take a pill called “Sunny days”
To bring forth Sol's renewing rays.

Oh wouldn't it be nice,
Oh wouldn't life be bright,
If there were pills that we could take
To set our world aright?
