I Can See Everything Now

Surgery day. Nothing to eat since midnight.
All I can think about is pancakes.

Paper hat and a blanket, warm and blue
They drew a little arrow on my eyebrow too
"Which eye are we doing?" asked eleven times
I'm starting to think they doubt my mind

Fifteen minutes, a hum and a light
I saw some colors, like a disco at night
Doc says "All done!" and I say "What?"
"I was promised a nap, and I barely got..."

I can see everything now
Every crumb, every cobweb, wow
My kitchen's not white, it's beige, oh no
I can see everything now, and I've got some complaints to show

Next morning, the patch comes off with a grin
My couch is hideous, how long has it been?
The dog has a gray beard, the walls need paint
The dog has a gray beard, the walls need paint
My husband has wrinkles, he says, "No, I ain't"

Don't rub, don't bend, don't lift, don't swim
Don't have any fun for a week, my friend
Shield taped on at night, I'm a pirate in space
Three kinds of drops on a schedule I can't trace

I can see everything now
Every crumb, every cobweb, wow
My kitchen's not white, it's beige, oh no
I can see everything now, and I've got some complaints to show

Colors are brighter, the sky's so blue
I can read the menu and the fine print too
I told the doc he's my favorite guy
Then asked when he's doing the other eye

I can see everything now
Every crumb, every cobweb, wow
I can see everything now, and I've got some complaints to show

Best day ever. Ten out of ten.
Now please pass the pancakes.
