When things just aren't going your way Like a problem hair you pluck or shave? But shaving got to be such a bore And you deserve so much more And happiness is just a purchase away [Chorus:] Angelina it'll fix your hunchback Angelina it'll help your time pass Angelina here's a forcast Angelina it's science we never laugh Here's something that is automatic It's wax ecstatic When life is nothing less than tragic It's wax ecstatic When life has lost all it's magic It's wax ecstatic When life can't promise the fantastic It's wax ecstatic Throw all your troubles away You'll nothing left that you want to save With this circus you'll need nothing more And all your troubles walk out the door And it's all just a phone call away [Chorus]
