The Brave New World Cantata
One cubic centimeter cures ten gloomy sentiments.
Was and will
Make me ill
I take a gram and only am
A gram is better than a damn
A gram in time saves nine.
—words by Aldous Huxley, 
(Actually, it’s meant to be sung as a round, but I’m not real sure it can be.)

Wow, thanks for posting that cover! This is one of my all time favorite Radio Productions from that era. Only the classic War of the Worlds comes close.
