Good-Bye Room 204

In the great hospital room
There was a telephone
And a nurse call button
and a bed for

A new baby boy

And there were rocking chairs

and lots of nurses
and baby lip purses

And a Mommy
and a Daddy

And a bathroom filled with maternity stuff

And a bed with buttons to recline you and such

Good-bye room 204

Good-bye labor and delivery

Good-bye St John's hospital

Thank-you to the nurses
and hospital staff

Good-bye Doctor Johnson
Good-bye slow pace of life

Good-bye reclining bed

And Good-bye birth experience

Good-bye nursing help
and good-bye one-room life

Good-bye big windows
And good-bye meals in bed

Good-bye contraction monitor
and good-bye heart listening monitor

Good-bye everybody
Good-bye to nobody

And good luck to next lady who is told to push
Good luck to her baby
Good luck to her family
Good luck to her to have what I had
