Regina Spektor - Chemo Limo
Basically, written from the perspective of a young mother dying of cancer in her hospital bed.

I had a dream
Crispy crispy Benjamin Franklin came over
Babysat all four of my kids
Then in my dream
I told the doctor off
He said if you don't want to do it
Then you don't have to do it
He said the truth is
You'll be okay, anyway
Then in my dream
Crispy crispy Benjamin Franklin and the doctor
Went and had a talk with my boss
Something about insurance policies
They kept the door closed at all times
I couldn't hear or see
When they came out they said
You'll be okay, anyway
And I smiled cause I'd known it all along.
No thank you no thank you no thank you no thank you
I don't have to pay for this shite
I couldn't afford chemo like I couldn't afford a limo
And on any given day I'd rather ride a limousine
No thank you no thank you no thank you no thank you
I ain't about to to die like this
I couldn't afford chemo like I couldn't afford a limo
And besides this shite is making me tired
It's making me tired
It's making me tired
You know I plan to retire some day,
And mama gonna go out in style
Go out in style
This shite it's making me tired
It's making me tired
It's making me tired
Mama gonna go out in style go out in style
When I woke up
My kids were being quiet
I knew it was a dream right away
I called the limousine company
Then I got dressed
I dressed the kids as well
The limousine pulled in and we piled in
The doctor he asked which way we were headed
I said, Sir, let's just go west and he listened obediently,
Sophie only wants to listen to radio BBC
Michael sat on my knees and whispered to me all about the meanies
Jacqueline was being such a big girl with her cup of tea looking out of the window
And Barbara, she looks just like my mom
Oh my God, Barbara
She looks so much like my mom
No thank you no thank you no thank you no thank you
I ain't about to pay for this shite
I couldn't afford chemo like I couldn't afford a limo
And on any given day I'd rather ride a limousine
No thank you no thank you no thank you no thank you
I ain't about to die like this
I couldn't afford chemo like I couldn't afford a limo
And besides this shite is making me tired
It's making me tired
It's making me die
You know I plan to retire some day,
And I'm-a gonna go out in style
Go out in style
This shite it's making me tired
It's making me tired
It's making me tired
I'm-a gonna go out in style go out in style
Style. Style. Style. Style....
I had a dream
Crispy, crispy Benjamin Franklin came over and
Babysat all four of my kids
I had a dream
Crispy, crispy Benjamin Franklin came over and
Babysat all four of my kids
Sophie only want to tune us into radio BBC
Michael sat on my knees and whispered to me all about the meanies
Jacqueline was being such a big girl with her cup of tea looking out of the window
And Barbara, she looks just like my mom
Oh my god, Barbara
She looks so much like my mom
Oh my god, Barbara
She looks so much just like my mom
