Overnight Observation

(j. farrar/t. snow)



Looks like i'm the only one here

Even the nurse is gone

But i guess i should wait cause when she left, she said



The doctor won't be long

So make yourself at home

His office is down the hall



Why do i feel uneasy?

I know he must be good

Got credentials all over the wall



I hear a voice behind me say

What seems to be the trouble, my dear?

Won't you be kind enough to step over here



It might be fever

It might be flu

To isolate it, i'll have to hold you

Overnight (observation)

Overnight (observation)

In my opinion

All we can do to isolate it

I'll hold you overnight (observation)

Overnight (observation)



Please don't think me ungrateful

But holding me overnight

Seems a little extreme

Do you always serve martinis

And turn the lights down low

Doctor, do your colleagues know?

Although you say it's good for me

I really don't feel like dancing now

Somebody's waiting

And i'm double-parked anyhow



It might be fever

It might be flu

To isolate it, i'll have to hold you

Overnight (observation)

Overnight (observation)

In my opinion

All we can do to isolate it

I'll hold you overnight (observation)

Overnight (observation)



Now, i may look stupid

But i'll tell you what, i've been around a long time

And i thought i had heard everything

I tell you, they keep coming up with them

I just couldn't believe my ears when he said:



Kick off your shoes, relax my dear

Slip into something comfortable

Two seconds flat, i'm out the door and down the hall



It might be fever

It might be flu

To isolate it, i'll have to hold you

Overnight (observation)

Overnight (observation)

In my opinion

All we can do to isolate it

I'll hold you overnight (observation)

Overnight (observation)
