DIURETIC SONG 3 -- An Ode to Hydrochlorothiazide

DIURETIC SONG 3

An Ode to Hydrochlorothiazide

Tune: All I do is Dream of You the Whole Night Through

All I do is pee for you the whole day through,  

And when night falls, still nature calls, 

All ‘cause of you!

When I’m asleep, when I’m awake, 

You never give me any break, 

You’re steady, ready, but so hard to take!

I hardly can pronounce your name — Hydrochlorothiazide,

But sad to say I'm now your most unwilling bride!

If peeing were a job that paid, I'd be a millionaire today,

But I’m a volunteer for you the whole day through!

DIURETIC SONG TO ROW ROW ROW

To the tune of Row Row Row at:  https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107859172640/

Here's the chorus of the original as sung by Bing Crosby with lyrics attributed to John Scott Trotter:

And then he'd row, row, row

Way up the river he would row, row, row

A hug he'd give her

Then he'd kiss her now and then

She would tell him when,

They'd fool around and fool around

And then they'd kiss again.

And then he'd row, row, row

A little further he would go, oh, oh, oh,

Then he'd drop both his oars

Take a few more encores,

And then he'd row, row, row.

Here's my parody version as I deal with the effects of a drug for high blood pressure called hydrochlorothiazide.

And she would go go go,

That pill made sure that she would go go go,

She’d take tour of 

every bathroom here and there, 

She really didn’t care,

As long as there was one close by 

She’d be there fast as she could fly to 

go go go,

That diuretic had her peeing day and night!   

She’d just start in to snore, 

When she’d have to go more, 

and she would Go Go Go!
