Lyrics:

I’m not like the others
Like Jenny and John and Bill
Sometimes they get sick
But I am never, ever ill
They can stay at home
When they are feeling bad
But that’s not an option
According to my dad

My buddy is home from school
At thirty seven point two
But daddy says I am cool
When I have forty-two
My buddy, went to the ER
Just because of a cough
I know it sounds bizarre
But it’s all I’m dreaming of

I can never see a doctor
I am never, ever ill
Cause my father is a doctor
He says: Open your mouth
And shovels in a pill
I can never see a doctor
Cause dad’s an MD, PhD
Yes, I’m a little sad
To have my own dad
Experiment on me

And when I got sepsis
He came to school in his Lexus
And gave an intravenous mix
And the sepsis was fixed
And when I fell and broke my leg
He carried me to my bed
And made a chicken-wire cast
And proudly said: ”Gee, I’m fast!”

And when I ate a little peanut
And I got all anaphylactic
He said: “You just want attention
Don’t be such a hysteric!”
And when I got appendicitis
He said: “I should be able”
And put me to sleep with Baileys
And cut it out on the kitchen table

I can never see a doctor
I try and try. I really do
Daddy laughs and always tells me
Who’s the doctor son? Who? Me or you?
I can never see a doctor
Except for doctor Advil
I’m hiding all my tears, but probably for years
I’ll have go to doctor Phil

But now I’m gonna see a doctor
And the doctor isn’t dad
I am gonna visit father
In the hospital, cause he is feeling bad
Yesterday he was admitted
Now he’s looking pale and old
He talks about his will
And won’t get home until
He’s recovered from his cold!
