How Am I You Ask?
How am I you ask? Well I must say
I'll be fine as soon as this pain goes away
I'll be fine when I lose a few hundred pounds
and my cough isn't really as bad as it sounds
The sight in my eye will return they say
as soon as this pain in my head goes away
I guess I'll be able to hear again
but the doctor can't really tell me when
My teeth are ok all the bad ones fell out
And I could be walking if it weren't for the gout
but other than that I really feel fine
if only they'd fix this curve in my spine
How am I you ask well I'll tell you real quick
I was fine till you asked me but now I feel sick
