This is a song I wrote for all nurses to sing or recite to the tune of "Oh Where Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone!" I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to share it with other nurses you know:
Oh where oh where has my little nurse gone
Oh where oh where could she be?
She promised to bathe me, and bring me some food.
Oh where oh where could she be?
Oh where oh where has my little nurse gone
Oh where oh where could she be?
I've fallen out of bed, and I can't get up!
Oh where oh where could she be?
Oh when oh when will my nurse return
Oh when oh when will that be?
I've crawled to the door, now I'm stuck on the floor
Oh when oh when will she see?
The night nurse comes in and she calls out to me,
But I've crawled to the potty to pee.
I can't yell out to say "I'm in here,"
cause now I'm as hoarse as can be.
The Dayshift arrived to begin their chores,
And I haven't been seen, no not once!
I want to go home cause I feel all alone;
I'm starting to feel like a dunce!
Oh what oh what is taking my nurse so long,
Oh what oh what could it be?
I'm checking out of my room in an hour
So where oh where could she be?
My neighbor arrived to take me home,
I rang for my nurse to come see.
Instead of the nurse, an aide arrived
With a wheelchair in tow for me.
I ranted and raved that I'd paid and I paid
For my nurse to take care of poor me.
"Hallelujah," I heard someone shout as I passed,
For the nurse was so thrilled it was me.
"Farewell, my dear patient," she said to my face,
"I'm glad that you are all well,"
"Cause you acted like you were the only patient I had,
When each day you laid on that bell!"
*************THE END!!!
