The Lyrics
Ginkgo biloba leaf extract is the most widely sold phytomedicine in Europe, where it is used to treat the symptoms of early-stage Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, peripheral claudication, and tinnitus of vascular origin. Other pharmacologic effects include endothelium relaxation, inhibition of age-related loss of muscarinergic cholinoceptors and a-adrenoceptors; and stimulation of choline uptake in the hippocampus.
Ginkgo wellness is swell, ginkgo, well crop.
Ginkgo, swell drink makes grizzled well think.
Goin' for growin' up bushels, a ton--
Plow for ginkgo crop in the sun.
Gringo fell, grizzled fellow fell low, dropped.
Gringo's well mind like gin-dosed, declined.
Plantin' then rantin'--he gimped and fell where
Noggin's thoughts impair.
His once bright mind on a timeline
To rot--dendrite* decay.
Ginkgo-well time--it's a swell time
To coax choline coursing closed pathways.
"Gimme cup, gimme quart!" Ginkgo replete,
Gringo has found a thought:
Thinks he's Kris Kringle on the "Miracle" street.
Gringo, since he fell,
Hippocampus swelled,
Hippocratic swells
(Ginkgo? They can't tell)
Give him critter-belled sop**
*branching process of a neuron that conducts impulses to a cell
**something to pacify or quiet; in this case, accidentally, loco weed
Ginkgo, swell drink makes grizzled well think.

Gringo's well mind like gin-dosed, declined.
Plantin' then rantin'--he gimped and fell where
Noggin's thoughts impair.
His once bright mind on a timeline
To rot--dendrite* decay.
