THE HEART PATIENT'S LAMENT
OR, GIMME THAT OLD TIME CHOLESTEROL
(Sung to the tune of "Gimme That Old Time Rock 'n' Roll")Just take those cheeseburgers from the shelf
I'll sit and have one by myself
Low-salt, low-fat food just ain't got the same soul
Gimme that old-time cholesterol.I love that old time cholesterol
That kind of eating just soothes my soul
I reminisce about the food of old
With that old time cholesterolDon't even take me to a health club
You'll never get me in some funky hot tub.
Just sit me down with a BLT sub
And that old time cholesterolCall me a goner, call me what you will
Piss like a racehorse with this Lasix pill
Low-salt, low-fat food just ain't got the same soul
I want that old-time cholesterolCOPD
(Sung to the tune of "YMCA")Smoking
Getting real short of breath
I was choking
Nearly scared me to death
It's an illness knowna s COPD
And I thought that it would kill me.Asthma
Makes you gasp, makes you wheeze
Emphysema
Al-ve-o-lar disease
And bronchitis hurts when you cough or sneeze
Nothing matters when you can't breathe.C-O-P-D
It's no fun to have COPD
You don't know what to do
You think you're turning blue,
But there's things that you can turn to.Lung meds
That you take when they're planned
Exercises
Help your lungs to expand
Nebulizers
Give your breathing a hand
Help your lungs to meet their demandMedications
Help your lungs struggle less
Meditation
Helps you handle the stress
Relaxation
Time to take a short rest
Help your lungs to work at their bestC-O-P-D
It's a drag to have COPD
'Cause when your lungs fail
To in- and exhale
You get cyanotic and frailC-O-P-D
I've learned to live with my COPD I can breathe, I can cope
Not at the end of my rope
And I now know that I can cope
I'VE GOT THE ROTTEN PNEUMONIA AND THE COPD BLUES
(Sung to the tune of "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu")I can't get any sleep or rest
I've got congestion down inside my chest
Breathing problems from my head to my shoes,
I've got this rotten pneumonia and the COPD flu.Every day I find it hard to breathe
Sometimes I cough, sometimes I gasp and wheeze
Getting hypoxemic and starting to turn blue
I've got this rotten pneumonia and the COPD fluI've gotta wear an O2 mask
'Cause breathing is too hard a task
Sometimes I don't know what I'm gonna do
About this rottne pneumonia and the COPD flu
MIGRAINE
(Sung to the tune of "My Girl")I've get headaches over half my head
When it gets like this, I can't get out of bed
I guess you'd say, what could make me feel this way
MigraineI've got so much pain, I just wanna die
And I've got flashing spots before my eyes
I guess you'd say, what could make me feel this way
MigraineI don't need no money, fortune, or fame
All I really need is something for the pain
I guess you'd say, what could make me feel this way
Migraine
