(Come on! Sing along!) <\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dashing through the halls
\nAfter a brief one-hour snooze
\nO’er the floors we go
\nYawning all the way
\nCodes on walkie-talkies called
\nMaking interns cry
\nWhat fun it is to bag and squeeze
\nA coding man tonight!<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, pager page, pager page
\nPaging all the time
\nOh, how hard it is to sleep and dream
\nWith that bleeping beeping chime
\nPager page, pager page
\nPaging all the time
\nOh, how hard it is to sleep and dream
\nWith that bleeping beeping chime<\/span><\/p>\n

An hour or so ago
\nI thought I’d take a nap
\nAnd soon Nurse Keep-Me-Up
\nWas again beeping on my side
\nThe man was sick and still
\nBreathing was no longer his deal
\nSo we jumped into the coding room
\nAnd began our valiant moves!<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, pager page, pager page
\nPaging all the time
\nOh, how hard it is to sleep and dream
\nWith that bleeping beeping chime
\nPager page, pager page
\nPaging all the time
\nOh, how hard it is to sleep and dream
\nWith that bleeping beeping chime<\/span><\/p>\n

(Come on! Sing along!) <\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m dreaming of a codeless call
\nUnlike the ones I have always had
\nWhere the patients listen
\nAnd medicines are taken
\nAnd I\u2019m able to avoid anything bad.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m dreaming of a codeless call
\nWith every pager sound I hear
\nI pray my night be slow and quiet
\nAnd may all my patients stay outta my sight.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nHe knows if you’ve been slow or fast

\nYou better not cry.
\nBetter not pout, I’m telling you why.

Here comes the Intern!
\nHere comes the Intern!
\n<\/span>Right down the hospital\u2019s hall!
\nNurses and techs and all their patients
\nHave been waiting on his call.
\nPhones are ringing, alarms are beeping;
\nAll is chaotic and right.
\nCross your fingers and say your prayers,
\n‘Cause the intern comes tonight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here comes the Intern!
\nHere comes the Intern!
\n<\/span>Right down the hospital\u2019s hall!
\nHe’s got a coat that is filled with books
\nThat tell him how to heal.
\nSee the sweat stains on his scrubs,
\nOh, what a frightening sight.
\nJump in bed, cover up your head,
\n‘Cause the Intern comes tonight.<\/span><\/p>\n
