The Lyrics

If you got pain in your knees,
a potential remedy.
You’ve got to get an inject
to genuflect, genuflect, genuflect.

It is there if you should want it;
many people try and vaunt it.
If you have got bone on bone,
it might minimize your moans—
goo from the medicine lab.

Get that tine into your knee capsule;
it’s made of hyaluronic gel.
First you will feel a slight stickin’ pull,
then capsule’s more than a smidgen full.
Afterward, do not go out racing
around; you’ve got to watch your pacing.
For a while wait
till you can increase your gait.

Get good results, you’ll find your knees
are helped by the remedy.
After you get the inject,
you’ll genuflect, genuflect, genuflect.

For a few hours, you’re at home, then
you can go out and start roamin’.
The pain is easing;
this treatment’s pleasing.
Feeling ecstatic an’ knees move more plastic from
goo of the medicine man.
