One Quick Question

There's no such thing as one quick question. The doctor will be in that room until Thursday.

Lyrics

"Alright, you're all set. See you in a year."

Doc stands up and he's halfway gone
Hand on the doorknob, the exit's on
Then a gentle voice says, "Before you go..."
And everybody in the building just knows

"It's one quick question, it'll take a sec"
Out comes a list that would reach my neck
Folded in quarters, written small
Front and back, with arrows, and a map of the hall

Just one quick question
And then one more, and then one more
Just one quick question
While the doctor's leaning on the door

"Can I wear my contacts in the pool?"
"Is reading in the dark bad, like they said at school?"
"Why does my left eye twitch watching TV?"
"And while you're here, could you look at my knee?"

Doc's still smiling, ball's still in play
Hand still on the knob, he can't get away
The tech in the hallway taps her watch
Room four has started a book club, and they like it a lot

Just one quick question
And then one more, and then one more
Just one quick question
While the doctor's leaning on the door

"My sister has a question, she's on the phone"
"My neighbor wants to know about his floater, Joan"
"Oh, and how do I turn my phone font up?"
Doc, you're an eye surgeon. You're also tech support.

Just one quick question
And then one more, and then one more
Just one quick question
While the doctor's leaning on the door

He finally makes it out to the hall
Patient calls, "Oh! I forgot the most important one of all!"
