[Verse 1] There's nothing to do here Some just whine and complain In bed at the hospital Coming and going Asleep and awake In bed at the hospital [Verse 2] Tell me the story of how you ended up here I've heard it all in the hospital Nurses are fussin' Doctors on tour Somewhere in India [Pre-Chorus] I got one friend laying across from me I did not choose him, he did not choose me We've got no chance of recovery Sharing hospital joy and misery The joy and misery The joy and misery [Chorus] Put out the fire boys, don't stop don't stop Put out the fire on us Put out the fire boys, don't stop don't stop Put out the fire on us Bring your buckets by the dozens
Bring your nieces and your cousins Come put out the fire on us [Bridge] Vietnam, fishing trips Italian opera Vietnam, fishing trips Italian opera [Pre-Chorus] I got one friend laying across from me I did not choose him, he did not choose me We've got no chance of recovery Sharing hospital joy and misery The joy and misery The joy and misery The joy, the joy, the joy, misery [Chorus] Put out the fire boys, don't stop don't stop Put out the fire on us Put out the fire boys, don't stop don't stop Put out the fire on us Bring your buckets by the dozens Bring your nieces and your cousins Come put out the fire on us
