DIURETIC SONG TO STORMY WEATHER

Diuretic Song

Tune: Stormy Weather


I know why, taking hikes beneath the sky, 

I can’t do now, 

Staying close to home is all I do now,

Yet I’m going all the time!  


I go on, and go on and on and on,

Can’t stop peeing!

HCTZ* overtook my being,  

I’m peeing all the time!


     That’s a pill the doctors give for hypertension, 

     (That’s the same as high blood pressure, I should mention)

     All I know is every hour I feel that same old tension, 

     That must be relieved again!


I’m so sad, my condition makes me mad, 

And I worry!

But can’t stop now, because I’ve gotta scurry. 

Back to that throne again!
