VISITORS’ DAY AT THE NURSING HOME

Hello, Nurse, I’m here to see my cousin, Sid,
I think his room is very close to that of Luke the Lid.
Hi, Sid, I’m your cousin, here to see you once agin.
Here, let me wipe that bit of dribble from your chin.

Who’s the old guy I see that’s comin’ down the path?
I do believe that’s Myron Howard, my God, he could use a bath!
Is that Ron Martini over there, the one that’s tryin’ to sell his shoes?
He’s quite a sight but all those wrinkles sure give me the blues.

Here, take this tissue, Sid, you’re startin’ to drool once more,
Is that Roger Ramjet I see comin’ through the door?
Where Roger is, I’m sure that old Cool Bob is near,
I hear him now, he’s askin’ Ramjet for a beer.

There’s Moose and Roy, boy, don’t they look a sight!
If Roy’s here, I guess we’ll see Daisey by tonight.
Why, there she is; what a purty sight to see,
Shucks, she don’t look a day past seventy three.

There’s a few more guys I hope to see real soon,
Mike Maloney’s one and of course I can’t forget Rankoon.
SPC is special too, and I can’t forget old Gil,
Hey, Sid, wake up, it’s time to take your pill.

There goes Ramjet running at full speed across the lawn,
And here comes Cool in hot pursuit and neither has his clothes on,
I guess that’s how it was when they served on submarines,
Come on, Sid, let’s go before you pee upon your jeans.

Well, it’s good to see the old gang’s still around and doin’ well,
They’re not as spry now but everyone of them is full of Hell,
Sid, ol’ Cuz, I’ve gotta go now, back to my Cloud up in the sky,
Lookin’ forward to the day when all the crew is with me by and by.
