Lyrics

    (Blanche Wyer):
    ...6:30 this morning.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    I can't hear ya.
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    I woke at 6:30 this morning with a headache.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Oh...
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    I wonder to take 'em or not...
    
    (Barb Warner):
    I wouldn't take 'em.
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    I don't know, the headache is heavier than anything else.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    It's the first time that you took 'em?
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    Second.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Yeah...
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    I had a little bit of a headache this morning.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    I wouldn't take 'em, mom.
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    I won't take 'em now, 'cause I have a toothache that hurts too a little bit. I've taken
    everything I got, been thinkin'
    
    (Barb Warner):
    All that blood pressure medicine you take and stuff too. You shouldn't take those things. You're
    better off not to sleep then to take the...
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    ?
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Oh, my god! No wonder you got a headache! Your pressure's probably sky high! Why don't...You
    gotta take that every day!
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    I try though...
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Are you crazy?
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    It's been 3 days...
    
    (Barb Warner):
    That's probably why you have a headache now...Did you take it today?
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    I did this morning, yeah.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    That's probably why you have a headache, 'cause your pressure's up.
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    Yeah.
    
    (Barb Warner): I don't know how you can forget to take it. And when that's the only pill you
    take...
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    I'm sorry, I have so many pills you'd be surprised.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Well, the blood pressure pill is the most important one.
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    Yeah, I know...
    
    (Barb Warner):
    There ain't no other one as important as that one.
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    I got one more and then I gotta get to the store. I got two refills on it.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    You only got one pill!?
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    I only take one a day...
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Well, yeah, but you shouldn't let 'em get that low...
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    I guess not, but I can take one in the morning and then go get some more...
    
    (Barb Warner):
    They're expensive! If you have to pay for 'em... Procardia?
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    No, the other one.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Which ones?
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    I gotta pay for procardia.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Were you taking that every day?
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    Yeah.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Well, that's the blood pressure pill... The heart pill, the procardia. And what's the other one?
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    Ah, H-Y-G-R-O-T-O-N.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Oh, that's something to do with water and... And... Water and, uh, blood pressure.
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    This one tag does say it's for blood pressure...
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Yeah, I think it works like a water pill type pressure, but the procardia's the important one.
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    Yeah.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    You have to take that every day.
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    Yeah.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    You should take that the first thing when you get up...
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    Yeah...I know.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Well, how come you ain't got taken it?
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    I took it yesterday, the procardia.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Well, how come you didn't take it today?
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    I had the headache today...
    
    (Barb Warner):
    That's why you have a headache! You gotta take the procardia... Take it now! That's what it's
    for, your headache! It's to make your blood pressure come down.
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    Yeah.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    If you don't you're gonna ha... You'll have a stroke if you don't take it. If you got a
    pretty... Headache that bad you're gonna have a stroke...
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    I got a headache that bad this morning.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Well, you better go take the procardia right now.
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    I will, I'll take it when I hang up.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    You didn't take that other blood... blood pressure pill either?
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    Yeah, I did this morning...
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Well, you should take the procardia right now.
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    I'll take the procardia in after nine. Got a horrible morning...
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Well, you...
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    I'm glad you can't see it.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Well, how long has it been since you took the procardia?
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    Three days.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    How many?
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    Three...
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Well, see, that's ridiculous... You better go take it right now.
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    I will.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Then you'll find out your headache will go away.
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    Yeah. I've taken it now, the procardia, just yet.
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Any other medicine you're taking ain't that important. You ain't got nothing but nerve pills.
    They ain't important.
    
    (Blanche Wyer):
    I take those every day...
    
    (Barb Warner):
    Well, the nerve pills ain't that important. The blood pressure medicine's important.
