Hiatt, John - Doll Hospital Lyrics






Well, lots of little pieces make up the little girl
Such a tiny thing in this great big world
Well, now I've got to find out what's crackin' up
My little buttercup
I got to take her to the doll hospital

Well I bought her a dollhouse and a Corvette too
She's got everything's Barbie's got, I'm tellin' you
But every time I make a move just to touch her hair
She says, "Little boys should play with teddy bears"
I'm gonna take her to the doll hospital

[Chorus:]
Uh-huh, oh yeah
Baby you'll be all right
I'm gonna take you
To the doll hospital tonight
Uh-huh, oh yeah
Baby you look a fright
I'm gonna take you to the doll hospital

Well, all in love is fair
But it's the wear and tear
And words left unspoken
That leave hearts broken
But I never tore your legs off
Or threw you on the floor
Now I know baby cries a lot
But please don't cry no more

When we played doctor I must have made a mess
But I fixed her little wagon up good, I guess
She said Ken never made her heart beat so
But he lacked that certain somethin' as we all know
Now I burst her little bubble, her mind's about to go
I gotta get her to the doll hospital

[Chorus]

Hiatt, John Doll Hospital Comments
  1. g.... '....

    A shame that John hadn't yet written "The Wreck of the Barbie Ferrari", or he could have followed up this song with that one! "Barbie Ferrari" went over really well live on the "Perfectly Good Guitar" tour with Mike Ward and the Guilty Dogs.

  2. g.... '....

    Sonny on a (reverse) Firebird just like he was the very first time I saw Hiatt and the Goners. Johnny Winter would approve!

  3. s.... d....

    love that one! great musician, great guy!

  4. k.... ....

    Sonny Landreth on lead ,,,,one of Louisiana's favorites sons..you hear him play live you forget to breathe ...
