Mmmmm....I Love This ER!

Boy, the things you find on the internet! I found this watch by accident; having noticed a Nancy Drew watch in a Google search, I figured there had to be a Cherry Ames version and here it is! I needed a new watch anyway, so it should be here within a week. Everytime I check a pulse, I'll be reminded why I became a nurse! How often do you own a watch that makes you smile?

Have you ever heard the song, "I Love This Bar" by Toby Keith? Every time I hear it all I can think is that someone should write a version called "I Love This ER". Okay, I'll do it! The original lyrics were by Toby Keith and Scott Emrich and the song is off the "Shock'n Y'all" album. My apologies in advance to them both. Here is my version:

We got winners,
We got losers,
Chain smokers and boozers,
We got chest pain,
We got fractures ,
Some psychotic nerve wrackers.
And the people who just had to crash their cars.
Mmmm, I love this ER.

We got dyspnecs,
Some have scabies,
Folks afraid they have rabies,
We got vomit,
We got bleeding,
Folks who cut themselves weeding,
And men who are afraid that they'll have scars.
Mmmm, I love this ER.

Chorus
I love this ER.
It's a hoppin' place.
Don't bother to get dressed up
But wear good underwear just in case.....
Expect to be late
Because you will wait.
Mmmm, I love this ER.

We got old folks,
Kids with fever ,
Homeless and overachievers.
We got nurses, we got medics,
Drunks whose lives are pathetic
And they pee enough to fill a Mason jar.
Mmmm, I love this ER...Yes, I do.

Instrumental Interlude

I like my books.
I like my friends.
I'd like to read on my lunch break.
If I could have one now and then....

But, I love this ER.
It's a happenin' spot.
And the patients all come in, at seven pm on the dot.
Give your co-pay
Before you stay.
Mmmm, I love this ER.

Mmmm, I love this old ER.
