I said to the doctor
I don't want to go home
I think you ought to
Leave this drip alone
I've become accustomed
To this level of attention
I have nurses I can talk to
And thermometers to hold

Though I feel
Just a little bit better
I could feel
So much better
Can't you see

Oh, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor
Doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor

I've become accustomed
To this level of affection
I have visions I can talk to
And my nightmares to behold

Though I feel
Just a little bit better
I could feel
So much better
Can't you see
That I have a good bed here
I don't want to leave here
Just getting to know you
Don't want me to go
You don't want me to go

Oh, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor
Doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor
Doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor

I've become accustomed
To this level of infection
There are catheters to cling to
And my lifetime to unfold

Oh, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor
Doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, oh
