CANCER TIME
by Paul Hamell (based on the Gershwin classic Summertime)

Cancer time,
And the livin' ain't easy
Chemo's pumpin'
And the neurons are fried

Your body aches
And your bowels are exploding
But hush little baby
Don't you cry

Most of these mornings
You're going to rise up barfing
Then you'll dry heave some
And take to your bed

But in those mornings
There's nothing can harm you
With family and friends standing by

Cancer time,
But the livin' is easy
Chemo's pumpin'
But the loved ones are nigh

Your Daddy's rich
And love is for sharing
So hush little baby
Don't you cry.
