At JOA, we love takin’ care of patients!

Takin’ Care of Patients (lyrics by Bob Hammond, vocals by Andrew May)

We get up every morning
From our iPhone’s warning
Take the 401 into the city
There’s a patient in the room
Hopin’ we will come in soon
And wishin’ we can make ‘em see pretty
So if we spin those dials
And we show them some new trials
They’re goin’ to leave here happy today
And we never get annoyed
We just do what we enjoy
We love to help our patients all day

And we’ll be
Taking care of patients – every day
Taking care of patients – every way
We’ll be taking care of patients – it’s alright
Taking care of patients and saving precious sight
Work out

If it were easy as fishing
You could be an optician
And make lenses light and pretty
And you know you’re having fun
When you’re talkin’ bout the sun
And showing all the shades that can help ‘em
So when a problem we are facing
Our brains they start a-racin’
To formulate a plan to help you
So come to JOA And we’ll see you right away
We love to work with patients all day

And we’ll be Taking care of patients – every day
Taking care of patients – every way
We’ve been taking care of patients – it’s so fine
Taking care of patients and working overtime
Work out!

Lyrics (written by Andrew May and Barrett Martin)

These drops are gonna work for three hours or more
I wanna be dilated
This is the best part of coming through the door
I wanna be dilated
So put ’em in my left eye, put ’em in my right
I wanna stay dilated all throughout the night
So help me keep my vision, help me keep my sight

I wanna be dilated
I wanna be dilated

These drops are gonna work for three hours or more
I wanna be dilated
This is the best part of coming through the door
I wanna be dilated
So give me the sunglasses, because the sun is bright
My pupils are so big, you just see black and white
Some would say I’m crazy but this gives me such delight

I wanna be dilated
I wanna be dilated
