The Singing Patient (Carla): MP3s

Sittin' In the Waiting Room

(Carla Ulbrich)
2004-08
lyrics, Carla Ulbrich (music composed by Llyod Price)
this was written in various doctor waiting rooms, where it was common for me to wait for 2 hours past my appointment time before seeing anyone. Then I was usually brought back to an over-lit room, given a large paper towel to wear, and sat freezing my rear off for another half hour or longer.
Over and over I make an appointment with you
over and over You’re not sure what to do
over and over you refer me to somebody new
So over and over I’m sittin' in the waiting room

I’m at the rheumatologist
nephrologist
immunologist
oncologist
radiologist
hematologist
They really need some new magazines in here
So over and over
I wish I’d brought something to do
‘cause I’m here over and over
Sittin’ in the waiting room

I’m at the pulmonologist
opthamologist
pathologist
gastroenterologist
neurologist
cardiologist He didn’t even listen to my heart

So over and over I’ll be a fool if I do
just sit there over and over in their waiting room



So over and over
this is what I’ve been through
Over and over
I tell ‘em that it just won’t do
I told them over and over
I’m not sitting here like a fool
So they took me over
to another waiting room

I’m at the gynecologist whoops
phlebotomist
proctologist
psychologist
urologist I waited for 2 hours and
Then I saw him walking to his car
Office hours were over they were over
I knew what I had to do
I ran him over and over
Left him in the waiting room
