Judy Pancoast – Gotta Get A Shot! lyrics

(Verse 1)
I made my bed, I fed the cat.
I cleaned my room, imagine that!
No matter what I do or say,
I still gotta go to the doctor today,
And...

(Chorus)
I gotta get a shot!
(No! No! No!)
I gotta get a shot!
(No! No! No!)
Call it vaccination, immunisation, inoculation...
I gotta get a shot.
(No! No! No!)

(Verse 2)
Now here we are, it's almost time.
Doc checks my heart and says it's fine.
I'm healthy as a kid can be,
Then why do they still wanna do this to me?
They say...

(Chorus)
I gotta get a shot!
(No! No! No!)
I gotta get a shot!
(No! No! No!)
Call it vaccination, immunisation, inoculation...
I gotta get a shot.
(No! No! No!)

(Verse 3)
Here comes the nurse, she says it won't hurt,
But I've been here before,
So I bump on the door!
I'm running down the hall like the wind a'blowing,
When the doc steps out and says, "Hey, where you going?"
I guess...

(Chorus)
I'm gonna get a shot!
(No! No! No!)
I gotta get a shot!
(No! No! No!)
Call it vaccination, immunisation, inoculation...
I gotta get a shot.
(No! No! No!)

(Verse 4)
I close my eyes, I squeeze my mom.
I feel a sting and then it's gone.
Now I can get a cool band-aid,
And everybody says I was really brave,
Because...

(Chorus)
I had to get a shot!
(No! No! No!)
I had to get a shot!
(No! No! No!)
Call it vaccination, immunisation, inoculation...
I had to get a shot.
(No! No! No!)

(Verse 5)
When it's your turn, be brave like me.
Shots are a kid reality.
Just close your eyes and count to ten.
You'll be fine 'til you gotta go and get one again!
(Get one again, get one again, get one again)

(Chorus)
You gotta get a shot!
(No! No! No!)
You gotta get a shot!
(No! No! No!)
Call it vaccination, immunisation, inoculation...
You gotta get a shot.
(No! No! No!
No! No! No!
No! No! No!
No!
No!)
