Someone’s obsessing my lord, OCD But she’s not doing anything about it, OCD She’s
not too compulsive my lord, OCD That’s why we call her just OD

OCD my lord, OCD OCD my lord, OCD OCD my lord, OCD Oh lord, OCD

What if the electricity goes off, OCD And the clocks start blinking 12, OCD Will
that hurt the clocks, OCD So that's why I disconnect them , OCD

I forgot to lock the car door, OCD so I'll go back and check OCD This has become
a habit OCD Oh Lord OCD

Did I leave the iron on? OCD I think I pulled the out the plug OCD But I'll drive
back and check OCD Oh Lord OCD

Not every thought my lord demands a deed Sometimes a little phlegm my lord, is
all you need If you're not phlegmatic, this is hard indeed Oh lord OCD

Someone borrowed an Imac super drive, OCD Was it a student, my lord, or a faculty
Was it bakes. my lord, or linda hurley Oh lord, OCD

Last night, I lost my watch, the one with the alarm Went to sleep with an OCD
plan Woke up early with another alarm Heard my watch beeping in the garbage can!

Ben sends e-mail, my lord to the conference wg He worries too much my lord about
where it will be His e-mail is safe my lord, safer than he He should worry
instead about David and Abby

OCD my lord, OCD OCD my lord, OCD OCD my lord, OCD Oh lord, OCD

There are many euphemisms, my lord, for OCD Small change matters; that's what you
taught me Attention to details; do things thoroughly Oh lord, OCD

There is a caconym, my lord, for OCD The word anal, my lord, is one you'll see
Always neurotic about life my lord, yup that's me Oh lord, OCD

OCD my lord, OCD OCD my lord, OCD OCD my lord, OCD Oh lord, OCD


What if the plane should crash, OCD And no one knows where we were supposed to be
This is a good trick that Aunt Cheryl taught me Sending everyone my intinerary

I know a guy, my lord, who used the 4 letter word KISS A few people on the
listserv, they clearly got pissed When you gave a sense of humor, my lord, there
were some you missed Oh lord, OCD

OCD my lord, OCD OCD my lord, OCD OCD my lord, OCD Oh lord, OCD

Did we forget something on Marathon Day When you're with Linda Hurley, the
answer's "no way" With her voice and new megaphone We might just get down and
pray

Did I obsess for days and days on whom to hire And then I can't find her via
e-mail or wire Should I walk to Tennessee and yell for rachel Or should I just
wait for a spell

OCD my lord, OCD OCD my lord, OCD OCD my lord, OCD Oh lord, OCD

Was it too cold, my lord, and did they freeze I saw mike goldstein trembling,
almost to his knees Will pitino ever leave, my lord, I hope so please Oh lord,
OCD

OCD my lord, OCD OCD my lord, OCD OCD my lord, OCD Oh lord, OCD

What if the customs people stop us at the gate Will the ISB Summercore start on
time or will it be late "Sorry I scared you", Dorothy sends an e-mail tip She
says she must have been on an OCD Trip

OCD my lord, OCD OCD my lord, OCD OCD my lord, OCD Oh lord, OCD

Should I take the C++ course says a worried Gail I thought I wanted to, but I
just might bail Will it be too much in terms of work Oh Lord, OCD 

OCD my lord, OCD OCD my lord, OCD OCD my lord, OCD Oh lord, OCD

I gave Marlon the Asphalt Green pass one December day
And I forgot about that until yesterday
I was stressing, my lord, about where it could be, Oh LORD, OCD

OCD my lord, OCD OCD my lord, OCD OCD my lord, OCD Oh lord, OCD
