2011
[NURSE #1] Hey doctor, are you on call? I’m not feeling so well at all I kept thinking about ya As I could not sleep a wink last night [NURSE #2] I tossed and turned the whole night long Kept feeling like something’s wrong I need a checkup to make everything all right [NURSES] So I— [NURSE #3] Made this appointment [NURSE #4] And I cleared your afternoon [NURSES] Yes, I— [NURSE #5] Need me a little 'TLC' [NURSE #3, #4 & #5] And I got to get some soon [NURSES] Let me tell ya' that— [NURSE #6] Maybe I never listened good I never did the things I should But I’m ready to take doctor's orders! [NURSE #7] Baby, I never felt so bad I need something I never had And I’m ready to take doctor’s orders! [NURSES] Ooh, ooh [NURSE #1] Hey doctor, I need repair I need intense intensive care I better take heed [NURSES] —of the surgeon general’s warning [NURSE #2] And if you’re tired and looking pale [NURSES] I’ll be your Florence Nightingale [NURSE #3] And if one won’t do— [NURSE #3 & #4] Then please, take two And call us in the morning [NURSES] Yes I Like playing doctor Was my favorite game indoors And I Still like to play around I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours! [NURSE #6] Baby, I need your remedy [NURSES] Ooh, ooh [NURSE #7 & (NURSES)] Doc, it’s an emergency And I’m ready (Ready) To take doctor’s orders (Doctor's orders) [NURSE #1] Baby I need the antidote You’re hiding under that white lab coat Yes, I’m ready to take doctor’s orders! Ooh-aah [NURSES] You know what they say [NURSE #2] —about an apple a day To be the strongest gal in town But if an apple a day keeps the doctor away [NURSES] I’m gonna burn that orchard down! [NURSE #3 & (NURSES)] Aw, baby don’t stop until I’m healed I’ve got Blue Cross and I've got Blue Shield And I’m ready (Ready) to take doctor’s orders (Doctor’s orders) Yeah Baby take out your stethoscope You might be my only hope And I’m ready (Ready) to take doctor’s orders! (Baby!) [NURSE #4 & (NURSES)] Baby, you’d better operate Then to Miami to recuperate Yes, I’m ready (Ready) to take doctor’s orders (Talkin’ ’bout wham-bam, hot damn!) [NURSE #5] Oxygen please, can’t catch my breath [NURSE #6] Doctor you got the kiss of death [NURSES #1 & (#2)] And I’m ready (Ready) Ready (Ready) [NURSES] Come on, let’s rock steady [NURSE #6] 'Cause, I’m [NURSES] —rea-rea-rea-rea-ready For doctor’s orders!
