A Retirement Song for Dr. Allen McDonald. Orthopedist for NAPC/ATL
( To the tune of Clementine, sing with vigor!)
Oh, Dr. Allen, how we LOVE you
From the bottom of our hearts,
Tell me who else would be willing or able
To fix North Avenue's broken body parts!
Yes, we LOVE you, even ADORE you
You are the BEST Orthopod in this town,
For without you, we'd be in agony
Wishing we were ten feet underground!
Tall and handsome, wry sense of humor,
With a Southern gentleman's charms,
Who else will take our call at five in the morning?
But now Ann Carter has other plans!
How can we THANK you, how can we SHOW you,
How much you mean to EVERYONE,
Mending bones, backs, aching shoulders
Now we thank you with this song!
Just be glad now, it's almost over now,
Ann Carter hang on to your man
For broken bones and torn meniscuses
He will have an action plan!
Oh, Dr. Allen, yes we LOVE you
Stick around a long, long time
And young Allen your Dad is passing
The baton to you and you'll do fine!
