ervous tension, man's invention, 
Is the biggest killer that's around today 
Let the tension out or it will build and build inside 
And strike you down some day 
Nervous tension, man's invention 
Is the biggest waste of human energy 
Let the tension out, or it will surely kill 
And that will be a tragedy 


Valium helps you for a while 
But somehow valium always seems to bring me down 
There's no pill I can recommend where side effects 
Aren't guaranteed to send you round the bend 


You gotta let out the tension 
With a little bit of exercise 
Loosen up your muscles 
And feel the knots in your body untie 


We oh we oh 
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah 
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah 


It sure beats quaaludes 
It sure beats cocaine 
Even Freud recommends it 
Cos it relieves the strain 


Altogether now 
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah 
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah 


Some people say it sends you deaf 
Some people say it sends you blind 
Some people say it makes you old 
some people say it blows your mind 


But I say 


If it's good for your health 
It's good for your mind 
If it keeps you together 
It's really all right 
We oh we oh 


Oh c'mon, kick the cat 


Oh oh oh oh it's the state of the national health 
Oh oh oh oh Blame it on the national health 


Nervous tension, nervous tension, nervous tension 
Nervous tension. nervous tension, nervous tension 
Nervous tension, man's invention 
Is the biggest killer that's around 


Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah 
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah an 


Valium helps you for a while 
But somehow valium always seems to bring me down 
There's no pill I can recommend where side effects 
Aren't guaranteed to drive you round the bend 


I say I say 


Oh oh oh oh it's good for your health 
Keeps you together, it's the state of the national health 
Oh oh oh oh Blame it on the national health 
Oh oh oh oh it's the state of the national health 
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah
