Miss Polly
Original Author Unknown
Miss Polly had a dolly that was sick, sick, sick (Suit actions to words.)
So she called for the doctor to come quick, quick, quick,
The doctor came with her bag and her hat
And she knocked on the door with a rat-a-tat-tat.
She looked at the dolly and she shook her head.
She said, “Miss Polly, put her straight to bed!”
She wrote on a paper for a pill, pill, pill
“I’ll be back in the morning with my bill, bill, bill.”
The Doctor In The Clinic

Sung to: “Farmer in the dell”

Hi-ho the derry-o,
The doctor in the clinic.
The doctor takes a nurse…
The nurse takes a patient…
The patient gets help…
The patient gets better…
Doctor Day
Original Author: Unknown
My father said, “It’s doctor day,”
Then he and I were on our way,
To see our friend, the doctor who,
Would check me out, as doctors do.
She had more things, than I can tell,
To help her keep the people well.
She checked me up and all the while,
She wore a big and friendly smile.
So now I hope that someday you,
May go to see the doctor too!
