So Page Me, Maybe?

In celebration of Play Therapy Week, Sydney Children's Hospital staff and patients put together this video parody of Carly Rae Jepson's "Call Me Maybe". The lyrics are hilarious and absolutely true to
 the Child Life Profession.
Enjoy!

"Freddy came in unwell, what's up his nose he won't tell.

I look to you for some help, and now you're coming this way.

I'll trade you stickers for deets. Has it been up there for weeks?

I wasn't prepared for this, but now you're here so hey!

Freddy's stare was holding, frowning, arms were folded,

(I can't make out this next line!
 But we get the point of what happened!)
CHORUS:

Hey, I just met you! And this is crazy 

But here's my number, so page me maybe?

Kids dislike procedures, but that don't phase me.

So here's my number, just page me maybe!

Hey, I just met you! And this is crazy 

But here's my number, so page me maybe?

And all the other wards try to chase me,

But here's my number, so page me maybe.
You took your time with the call, now this kid's climbing the walls.

You gave 'em no prep at all, and now they're FREAKIN' out!

Those photos, this is unreal. She's showing me what's the deal.

I didn't know how I'd feel, but now I'm finding out.

A mask you're holding, fitted gown,
ID tag showing, the bed wheels are rolling

Off to (Again, can't make out the word!) baby!
[CHORUS]
Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad.

And you should know that, so page me maybe!"
