Hospital LadyThe braid is held in with a bobby pinShe's a woman, she wears a pink hat The rouge on the face The bobble, the lace Once a young girl Please don't forget that The pretty red top Just about stopped It wobbled it don't spin anymore Reach for the sky Against gravity try Stay away from the cold wooden floor There was a time not so long ago She was dancing with her favorite beau Who died in 1953 Consider her chart There is dust on the heart A thorn bush grows inside the spleen Clouds on the eyes hide Al Jolsten blue skies The lungs have turned bright kelly green Old lady blues wears old lady shoes Her new lover is old daddy death |
