Get Well Soon - Steve Forbert

Well…, you’re in the hospital

I hear you’re doing poorly

I hear ‘bout how you’re terrified

Yes, and trying to act maturely

Brought up from the cradle in a

Home where servants knocked to get ya

Gotta change your life a lot

And I, I know the notion shocks ya

Get well soon little girl

Get well soon little girl

Get well… soon little girl

Get well soon

Oh…, your mama liked to socialized

And she never missed a function

And your daddy with his railroad lines

Never saw the junction

Your uncle was a dragon and his

Breath came a’scorching

As he spent his life exploiting foreign countries

For all those fortunes

Get well soon little girl

Get well soon little girl

Get well… soon little girl

Get well soon

I’ve been looking at my road map

And I ain’t so far away

I’d be driving through to day break

All the way from yesterday

And I’d be coming ‘round to see ya

And I don’t want to find a frown

And when you’re able babe just say so

And oh we’ll get out and paint the town

Yes…, you’d sail around the world alone

Too bad it took ya no where

You made some nervous, so-called friends

But how much babe, do they care

And you brought up every cul-de-sac

Price tags you ignore ‘em

Trying to maintain it all

You find you can’t afford ‘em

Get well soon little girl

Get well soon little girl

Get well soon little girl

Get well soon

Yeah, yes

And get well soon little girl

Get well soon little girl

Get well soon little girl

Get well soon

Ah…, you’re in the hospital

I hear you’re doing poorly
