lyrics

After Johnny told you that he wanted to say, he was sent away. He used to be my patient in bed number four. He isn’t there anymore. Now let’s get this story right back to the start ‘cuz I’d really like to know what you use for a heart. Yeah, you might not be so sure if you’d gotten here first. You’d be one less hand to hold for the visiting nurse. After Johnny told you that he wanted to stay, he was sent away. He used to be my patient in bed number four. He isn’t there anymore. After Johnny told you that he wanted to stay, he was lead astray. Just one fewer person who can make the parade on Veteran’s Day. Now let’s get this story right back to the start ‘cuz I’d really like to see what you use for a heart. Yeah, you might not be so sure had you gotten here first. You’d be one less wound to heal for the triage nurse. After Johnny told you that he wanted to say, he was sent away. He used to be my patient in bed number four. He isn’t there anymore. After Johnny told you that he wanted to stay, he was sent away. Just one fewer person who can make the parade on Veteran’s Day. I’d like to hear you explain this as best as you can, how this is the civic duty of the modern man ‘cuz maybe this is something that you could explain in your latest telegram to a family in pain.
