Tune: This Old Man
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ3qd-jrM54
This old Gran, she played ONE
Saw her DOC ‘cause her feet went numb
Sorry said the doctor…. I’m afraid we’re done
MAKE an appointment for the other one!
This old Gran, she played TWO
Saw her DOC when her mammo came through
Sorry said the doctor….Tho the left’s one’s good
MAKE an appointment for the right breast too.
This old Gran, she played THREE
Had bursitis and one bad knee
Sorry said the doctor, but your good knee counts
COME in again, but today you’re bounced.
This old Gran, she played FOUR
Saw her DOC with aches galore
Sorry said the doctor…. 10 minutes are done,
NEXT time pick your favourite one!
I’M that Gran! Complaints are five!
DO not gamble with my life!
[slowly] The plan, Mr. Kenney, puts Alberta in the red
[slowly] Since I CAN’T use my DOC……I’ll take a HOSpital bed.
This song was written in response to the recent Alberta government mandate that a doctor may spend only ten minutes with a patient.
