[MR. STEVENSON]
I've been waiting for so long
Waiting for my doctor to come
These aches been going on for days now
And I'm feeling slightly down
*Beep beep! Beep beep!*
*Beep beep! Beep!*
*Beep beep! Beep beep!*
*Beep beep! Beep!*
[DR. PAIGE & MR. STEVENSON]
I've been working night and day
Haven't had a wink of sleep
But they've been waiting for so long
(I've been waiting for so long!)
And I'm the one on-call this week
[DR. PAIGE & MR. STEVENSON]
Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart-beat, heart
Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart-beat, heart
[DR. PAIGE, spoken & MR. STEVENSON, spoken]
Good morning Mr. Stevenson, my name is Dr. Paige, and I'm the consultant on call today
How are you?
I'm better thank you, but it still hurts when I move
Understandably so, you might be getting pressure sores
Has thе nurse come to change your position?
No, not sincе the morning
Oh dear, we'll get her here
U-uh- The x-ray has come in now, and there is good news sir!
You haven't broken your tailbone and your hip is intact
Oh thank heavens, I don't know why I let myself fall-
Don't worry, it happens to the best of us
But more importantly, how are you feeling?
I'm okay, but-
Everything well at home?
I think so but-
Great, we'll get you discharged tomorrow then
But-
Is there anything else sir?
Well yes, my- my wife hasn't called since yesterday
We always talk once a day, and-
Okay. Yes. Um, of course, we will get the nurse to call her up and see if she's--
*Beep beep! Beep beep!* (Oh dear)
*Beep beep! Beep!*
[DR. PAIGE & MS. STEVENSON, MR. STEVENSON, RICHARD HUGH]
There my pager goes again
I've been waiting for so long
Give me strength to carry on
Waiting for my doctor to come
Thank you sir, have a good rest-
But doc, please check on my wife
My husband's somewhere in here too!
She's just forgotten to call! Okay?!
Don't fall for these doctors lies!
Please could someone help me out!
Driving around in their cars!
I should've been done at six!
Doctors are taking too long!
Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart-beat, heart
The public deserve to have care!
I'm the one that needs some help!
Saturday pay shall be cut!
Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart-beat, heart
Someone save me from this hell
Privatisation is key!
Shouldn't have gone to med school
[PAIGE]
To all my friends that I have lost
While crossing bridges I have crossed
Dinners, weddings, coffee sessions
Sorry I was never there
You see, I've been on call this week
I'm barely getting any sleep
I'd love to catch up, I really would
But they've been waiting for so long
