Doctor's Orders

Hey doctor, are you on call?

I’m not feeling so well at all

I kept thinking about ya

As I could not sleep a wink last night

I tossed and turned the whole night long

Kept feeling like something’s wrong

I need a checkup to make everything all right

So I—

Made this appointment

And I cleared your afternoon

Yes, I—

Need me a little 'TLC'

And I got to get some soon

Let me tell ya' that—

Maybe I never listened good

I never did the things I should

But I’m ready to take doctor's orders!

Baby, I never felt so bad

I need something I never had

And I’m ready to take doctor’s orders!

Ooh, ooh

Hey doctor, I need repair

I need intense intensive care

I better take heed

—of the surgeon general’s warning

And if you’re tired and looking pale

I’ll be your Florence Nightingale

And if one won’t do—

Then please, take two

And call us in the morning

Yes I

Like playing doctor

Was my favorite game indoors

And I

Still like to play around

I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours!

Baby, I need your remedy

Ooh, ooh

Doc, it’s an emergency

And I’m ready (Ready)

To take doctor’s orders (Doctor's orders)

Baby I need the antidote

You’re hiding under that white lab coat

Yes, I’m ready to take doctor’s orders!

Ooh-aah

You know what they say

—about an apple a day

To be the strongest gal in town

But if an apple a day keeps the doctor away

I’m gonna burn that orchard down!

Aw, baby don’t stop until I’m healed

I’ve got Blue Cross and I've got Blue Shield

And I’m ready (Ready) to take doctor’s orders (Doctor’s orders)

Yeah

Baby take out your stethoscope

You might be my only hope

And I’m ready (Ready) to take doctor’s orders! (Baby!)

Baby, you’d better operate

Then to Miami to recuperate

Yes, I’m ready (Ready) to take doctor’s orders

(Talkin’ ’bout wham-bam, hot damn!)

Oxygen please, can’t catch my breath

Doctor you got the kiss of death

And I’m ready (Ready)

Ready (Ready)

Come on, let’s rock steady

'Cause, I’m

—rea-rea-rea-rea-ready

For doctor’s orders!
