If it doesn’t kill you it’ll make you stronger 
But if it kills you you’ll be dead 
Use flourescent bulbs they’ll probably last longer 
But the buzzing sound might hurt your head 
There’s two ways of looking at your problem 
Right or wrong, win or lose 
Stand around and you’ll never get the job done 
All you have to do is choose 

Madelaine, stay with me 
Madelaine, leave me be 
Madelaine, just tell me what you’re gonna do 
Madelaine, stay for more 
Madelaine, use the door 
Madelaine, I’m gonna leave it up to you 

You could buy a dog to keep away the bad guys 
But you’d have to walk him every day 
You could open up a Chicken Kitchen franchise 
 [bad word] off the ASPCA 
Either way, you better make your mind up 
What is what, which is which 
Cause on the mound, they’re ready with the windup 
And you can’t miss another pitch 

Madelaine, stay with me 
Madelaine, leave me be 
Madelaine, just tell me what you’re gonna do 
Madelaine, stay for more 
Madelaine, use the door 
Madelaine, I’m gonna leave it up to you 

So many tasties on your plate 
What is a hungry girl to do? 
Already it may be too late 
I’m sick of cooking for you 

You could tell me that it’s getting past your bedtime 
And that you have to say goodnight 
You could tell me that you’ve had way too much red wine 
And you would probably be right 
Either way, you better wash those glasses 
You’ve got [bad word] by 
And besides, you’re sick of making passes 
 [bad word] be told, so am I 

Madelaine, stay with me 
Madelaine, leave me be 
Madelaine, just tell me what you’re gonna do 
Madelaine, stay for more 
Madelaine, use the door 
Madelaine, I’m gonna leave it up to you
