Someone has wounded you, dear world,
Someone has poisoned you, dear world.
And those who love you defiantly insist
That you get off the critical list.
So make your recovery quick, world
We're sick of having a sick world.
We want you dancing tomorrow afternoon,
So, be a dear world, and get well soon!

Please take your medicine, dear world,
Please make the fever break, dear world
Your vim and vigor are very sorely missed
Help us declare you "patient dismissed"
And stand on your crutches with pride, world
You've gotta save your own hide, world
We're not quite ready to trade you for the moon
So be a dear world, and get well soon!

Someone has beaten you, dear world
Someone has blinded you, dear world
Make sure your heartbeat is very finely tuned
Take off the bandage, heal every wound
And let's show the whole human race, world
You're not a terminal case, world
We're not quite ready to trade you for the moon
So be a dear world, and get well soon!

They won't defeat you, world
This we assure you, world
If we can treat you, world
Then we can cure you, world

Someone has wounded you, dear world,
Someone has poisoned you, dear world.
And those who love you defiantly insist
That you get off the critical list.
And let's show the whole human race, world
You're not a terminal case, world
We're not quite ready to trade you for the moon
So be a dear world,
Keep your fever down, dear world,
Keep your courage up, dear world.
And get well soon!
