Shhh… keep it down, don’t make a peep My partner’s still fast asleep Morning, day shift, gather near We barely made it, but we’re still here Wouldn’t wish this on my enemy Busiest night in EMS history Ohhh it was rough Call came in around half past three Monitor and transport, priority Pretty basic call, boring run But that one call weighed a ton It took everything we had to give Just to make it through this shift Busiest night of our lives Never sat down once, no time to survive Busiest night of our lives Running ragged just to stay alive Couldn’t gas up, couldn’t restock right Didn’t even sit the whole long night Busiest night of our lives Tried to fuel up, pumps were slow Stood there watchin’ numbers go Then dispatch called...... well not for us But we stayed ready, just in case, because Had to swing by my kid’s baseball game Coach was short, so I filled the lane One quick inning turned to nine somehow Still made it back, don’t ask me how Duty calls in many forms, you see Busiest night of our lives Never sat down once, no time to survive Busiest night of our lives Running ragged just to stay alive Couldn’t gas up, couldn’t restock right Didn’t even sit the whole long night Busiest night of our lives Stopped for dinner with the in-laws too Couldn’t say no, what could I do Three full courses, dessert, and pie But we stayed ready to mobilize Had my kid’s birthday later on Couldn’t miss it, cake was gone Rushed back to station, gave it a shot Thought about stocking… gave it a thought …then we decided maybe not Dates looked close—we let it slide Anyway, everything should be fine Probably good! Busiest night of our lives Never sat down once, no time to survive Busiest night of our lives Running ragged just to stay alive Couldn’t gas up, couldn’t restock right Didn’t even sit down all night Busiest night of our lives
