The Bumps And Bruises Doctor

  I’m the bumps and bruises doctor;
    I’m the expert that they seek
  When their rough and tumble playing
    Leaves a scar on leg or cheek.
  I’m the rapid, certain curer
    For the wounds of every fall;
  I’m the pain eradicator;
    I can always heal them all.

  Bumps on little people’s foreheads
    I can quickly smooth away;
  I take splinters out of fingers
    Without very much delay.
  Little sorrows I can banish
    With the magic of my touch;
  I can fix a bruise that’s dreadful
    So it isn’t hurting much.

  I’m the bumps and bruises doctor,
    And I answer every call,
  And my fee is very simple,
    Just a kiss, and that is all.
  And I’m sitting here and wishing
    In the years that are to be,
  When they face life’s real troubles
    That they’ll bring them all to me.
