| Parody Song Title: | "Waitin' For The Doctor All Day" |
| Parody Written by: | Stuart McArthur |
Anyone would think it's my fault I'm a hypochondriac...
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
watchin' wheel-chairs, roll in
then I watch 'em rollin' out agin, yeah
been waiting for the doctor all day
watchin' the hours drift away
just waitin for the doctor all day
wastin' ti-hi-hi-hi-hime
I left my home this morning
with a niggling little twinge in my toe
better go and visit my doctor
coz I'm sure he would be eager to know, yeah
To while away some time in my chair
there's this 5-year-old I'm tryn'to out-stare
the only thing in common we share
is wastin' ti-hi-hi-hi-hime
Looks like -
I've been forgotten!
Nobody has called my name!
I've watched -
ten people come and go through!
yet there was nobody -
when I came!
Sittin here all on my own
watchin' everybody else going home, yeah
receptionist is closing the door
now what would she be doing that for?
The cleaner's turning off the main light
gee, I reckon that could hurt my eyesight, yeah
I'll wait here for the doctor to say
it'll be fi-hi-hi-hi-hine
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
watchin' wheel-chairs, roll in
then I watch 'em rollin' out agin, yeah
been waiting for the doctor all day
watchin' the hours drift away
just waitin for the doctor all day
wastin' ti-hi-hi-hi-hime
I left my home this morning

Good premise. That's how I feel waiting for a simple dr. appt. 5's
For some reason, I can TOTALLY see you having a staring contest with a 5 year old. Too funny! Fabulous job here, darling Stu!
Welcome to "managed care." Take 15 and write more parodies in the morning.
Funny take on an aggravating situation...only 555 minutes longer.
Great health care commentary!
Three fives, no waiting!
clever wordplay and good pacing....and also very true...5s
thanks adagio
thanks Ash - those 5-year-olds kick ass at out-staring
thanks John, AFW, Tim, Michael, alvin, and last but not least ,my doctor, without whom none of this would have been possible

So basically I have had some problems getting on the site from work lately...or else I would have been here earlier...it's bad enough that you had to wait for the doctor all day...but now I've made you wait for my glowing wit all day, too. I'm sorry, Precious. I loved this! 5s...=)
well, your dinner is now COLD! (mutters) as usual......
Very good...and something to look forward to!
yes, there are only gonna be more and longer waits, Cap'n Raspberry....thanks for the read
