about
Blues song about not being afraid of getting shots. Honors the emotional reality that shots make people anxious and that it does hurt a little but that you can overcome it and it’s not a big deal. There’s a call & response with the audience in the chorus that may inspire the listener to join in, singing “Doc, doc, doc, doc” and “Let’s get that shot!”
lyrics
I’m going to the doctor
But don’t worry, I’m not sick
It’s time for my checkup
They’re gonna check me out real quick
And if I’m really good
I’ll get a lollipop to lick
(Or maybe a sticker to stick)
Oh, in the waiting room
They got a bunch of toys
They got picture books and magazines
To entertain the girls and boys
(And everyone in between)
And if I need a vaccine
I’m gonna keep my poise
Doc, Doc, Doc, Doc
(Doc, Doc, Doc, Doc)
I’m not scared of my shot
(Let’s get that shot)
Doc, Doc, Doc, Doc
(Doc, Doc, Doc, Doc)
I’m ready for my shot
(Let’s get that shot)
Doc, Doc, Doc, Doc
(Doc, Doc, Doc, Doc)
I’m not giving up my shot
(Let’s get that shot)
When I was even younger
I used to be afraid of shots (so afraid of shots)
I worried and felt anxious
My stomach was tied up in knots (so tied up in knots)
It only hurts a little
But it pre-occupied my thoughts
Now I’m a little older
And I finally understand
I just take a deep breath
Sometimes my grownup holds my hand
I’ve been sick a few times
This is no big deal to withstand
Doc, Doc, Doc, Doc
(Doc, Doc, Doc, Doc)
I’m not scared of my shot
(Let’s get that shot)
Doc, Doc, Doc, Doc
(Doc, Doc, Doc, Doc)
I’m ready for my shot
(Let’s get that shot)
Doc, Doc, Doc, Doc
(Doc, Doc, Doc, Doc)
I’m not giving up my shot
(Let’s get that shot)
Oh, I’m free! Yeah, I’m free
I got no more doctor blues
I’m no longer afraid
And I’m sharing the good news (such good good news, yeah)
If you’re feeling anxious
I know you’ll soon be in my shoes
Oh, I’m going to the doctor
But don’t worry, I’m not sick (don't worry, I'm not sick)
It’s time for my checkup
They’re gonna check me out real quick
And if I’m really good
I’ll get a lollipop to lick
(Or maybe a sticker to stick)
Oh, yeah, if I’m really good
I’ll get a lollipop to lick
(Sometimes they give me two stickers—ooh)
