Remember that old song “Fantasy” by Aldo Nova? Here’s a new take on it… Link to original lyrics at: http://www.lyricsdepot.com/aldo-nova/fantasy.html

***

“Trivialities”

It’s a fight

Pain pills sometimes make him feel alright

But not tonight

Agony in his leg makes his eyes shut tight

Diagnosing cases even when patients put up a fight

He solves puzzles and uncovers what’s right

Black or white—

He doesn’t view his world in that light

He surfs websites

And gets help from his team dressed in lab whites

Bet he’s right

When his blue eyes light up at the sight

Of some clue or patient who tries

To snow him with half-truths and lies

Go ahead and question if he’s right

He’ll say, “Cool!” but prove his insight

Is what saves a patient’s life

Don’t bother him with trivialities

He’s busy hunting the “wabbits” of rare disease

Can’t everyone see what’s driving Gregory

Better living through pharmaceutical wizardry

And solving bizarre cases night after night

Patients and doctors come to see

House’s solution is invariably right
