A little glass of water please A fresh pressed hanky if I sneeze
Some tea with honey from the bees Whenever you can brew it
And while I get a little rest A teeny tiny small request
Some codfish oil for my chest Poured from a crystal cruet
My goodness, I'm a nincompoop Because I fear I've got the croup
I need a vat of pumpkin soup And scarves made out of zinnias
Did I say zinnias? I meant silk Or something shiny of that ilk
And then I'll need some nice warm milk And pastries from Abyssinia
And since my stomach's feeling crummy Why not give my aching tummy
Something soothing, something yummy Piled up with noodles?
Add a slice of homemade rye With stacks of Swiss way up high
Served with sides of sweet mince pie More basil; I need oodles!
I'll be grateful for your charity Until the bitter end
Because I've heard that tenderness Is what you lend an ailing friend
Tenderness, isn't that right, friend?
So, who's ready for my big reprise?
I'd like that glass of water please Some magic spell to cure disease
A firm "gesundhoof" when I sneeze A fresh bouquet of roses
Some lozenges will soon appease My wheezing when I start to sneeze
A wig to keep me from the breeze And blankets for my toes-es
Take tweezers out of my valise And then massage my knobby knees
A bowl of peas, some extra cheese A cuddle with a Pekingese
A singing harp who's named Louise A goat on skis, a new trapeze
And more and more and more and more of these
And just because I oughta..
Make sure I'm drinking in the right Amount of fluids day and night
I wish I may, I wish I might Have just one little thing
Oh, would you please finally bring Me that tiny glass
Of water?!
