Where do you start ?
Where do I end ?
Is there a line
Phosphorus, my friend ?
You bubble over in your glee
It`s silly, happy, fun to see
Lots of fears can rear their heads
Thunder, lightning, things you dread
I think you need some company
Don`t worry, friend, depend on me
I`ll rub your back
And hold your hand
Give you a snack
Cold drinks are grand
You may want a soda pop
Spicy food with salt on top
I`ll take you to the ice cream shop
I`ll help you with this little miff
Don`t lose your voice
Or bleed to death
And if your lungs are filled up too
Coughing up some bloody goo
Your heart is skipping every beat
I`ll be glad to rub your feet
Come lay your head down on the right
I`ll tuck you in and say goodnight.
