The Lyrics
For the Ages contest. YouTube version the parody is based on.
I miss my home, I want my clothes
Doc’s don’t seem to care ‘bout Hippocratic oaths
Tissue paper to get me healthy? They must all be daft
Give me Levis now because I can feel a draft
I can feel a draft
Oh tie a flimsy ribbon 'round my open gown
In this hospital
I don’t dare bend down
If I can’t tie a ribbon ‘round my open gown
I'll stay on this floor
Behind a closed door
Medicate my frown
If I can’t tie a flimsy ribbon ‘round my open gown
Nurse Ratchet, I’m gonna freeze
'Cause I shouldn’t wear goose bumps with every breeze
I'm really still in prison, walking ‘round with this I.V.
A little privacy so those behind me cannot see
I plead and beg you please:
Oh tie a flimsy ribbon 'round my open gown
If I can’t get help
I will go to town
If I can’t tie a ribbon ‘round my open gown
I'll take pills like mad
Flip out just a tad
Wear a silly crown
If I can’t tie a flimsy ribbon ‘round my open gown
Now the whole damn floor is cheering
And I can't believe I see
I have a brand new gown that covers all of me
I'm goin' home
(tie a flimsy ribbon ‘round my open gown) x3
(tie a flimsy ribbon ‘round my open gown) x3
Doc’s don’t seem to care ‘bout Hippocratic oaths
Tissue paper to get me healthy? They must all be daft
Give me Levis now because I can feel a draft
I can feel a draft
Oh tie a flimsy ribbon 'round my open gown
In this hospital
I don’t dare bend down
If I can’t tie a ribbon ‘round my open gown
I'll stay on this floor
Behind a closed door
Medicate my frown
If I can’t tie a flimsy ribbon ‘round my open gown
Nurse Ratchet, I’m gonna freeze
'Cause I shouldn’t wear goose bumps with every breeze
I'm really still in prison, walking ‘round with this I.V.
A little privacy so those behind me cannot see
I plead and beg you please:
Oh tie a flimsy ribbon 'round my open gown
If I can’t get help
I will go to town
If I can’t tie a ribbon ‘round my open gown
I'll take pills like mad
Flip out just a tad
Wear a silly crown
If I can’t tie a flimsy ribbon ‘round my open gown
Now the whole damn floor is cheering
And I can't believe I see
I have a brand new gown that covers all of me
I'm goin' home
(tie a flimsy ribbon ‘round my open gown) x3
(tie a flimsy ribbon ‘round my open gown) x3

That's why you never freeball in a hospital gown. The nuts you save, could be your own.
I would have replaced "I have a brand new gown that covers all of me", with something more risque if you follow what I'm saying, I was just waiting for the led it to that, still a good parody though.
Very nice with (at least two) great visuals! Size 5's
(Ages) A chilling parody!
(Ages) Good work Wolverine, I got a chuckle out of it;) The whoel thought of being stuck 'wide open' so to speak around a hospital was painted fairly well.
you've got some bare faced cheek have 555 and cover your self up. (where did you put your tail ?) great parody.
(Ages) Had me grinning goofily, nice way to skewer the overly sappy OS!
Just wondering, did you see that Jack Nicholson movie about his character's relationship with a best-selling author?
Dont really like the OS,lvoed the parody!
Thanks Matthias, TJC, Agri, BAD, Tom, Cat, Michael, and Jack.
Michael, I've seen a Jack Nicholson movie where he was an author...and then tried to redrum his family. But don't know the movie you're referring to.
