Middos

You’re feeling a little bit blue – u-under the weather
You’re tired and must take a rest – we are hardly ever
Visiting patients, delivering flowers
Feeding the sick every few hours
Propping up pillows, straightening the blankets
That is what we can do for you
Yes, we are doing it for you
That is what we can do for you

OHHHHH!
Why don’t we go for a walk? The doctor says you need it
Your grandchildren sent you a card – just sit and I will read it
I’ll pour you a drink, I’ll open the window
You’re felling cold? I’ll close the window
It’s stuffy again? I’ll open the window
This is what I can do for you
Sure! – no problem – be glad to – I’ll do it for You!
Sure! – no problem – be glad to – I’ll do it for you!
Yes I am doing it for you
Don’t worry – No bother! – I’m sure – It’s quite alright – for you

OHHHHH!
Here’s the place in town, for the ups and downs
While we’re finding a cure
Minor surgery? Rest and call for me
Better to be sure – OH!

Rest and recover, soon you’ll discover
Not much to worry about
The doctor was in today – waiting for the x-ray
Then you may be on your way out!

(musical interlude)

You’re feeling a little bit blue – u-under the weather
You’re tired and must take a rest – we are hardly ever
Cheering a child, stopping to chatter
Being a friend – nothing else matters
Sharing the news, reading a story
That is what we can do for you
Yes, we are doing it for you
That is what we can do for you

OHHHHH!
We aren’t doctors – no way! But we are also healing
Laugh all your troubles away and better you’ll be feeling
Forget the pain, find a distraction
And when you smile – that’s OUR satisfaction
No side effects – pain fighting action
We are here entirely for you
That is what we can do for you
Yes, we are doing it for you

OHHHHH!
Oh, if I knew how to secure somehow
That my efforts would last
I’d go door to door, down the corridor
Discharging people fast – OH!

(doctor)
Sometimes I wonder – I prod and I ponder
Who’s doing more – you or me?

(Nurse)
I’ve got a notion that you’ve got the potion

(doctor and nurse)
You’re the sweetest girls we’ve ever seen

OHHHHHH!

(girls) We’re the sweetest girls you’ve ever seen

OHHHHH!

(altogether) You’re (we’re) the sweetest girls – we’ve(you’ve)-e-ver-SEEN!!!!!
