"There's a place, you should know, where people wait, and people go."
"And, in this place, there's a Wizard like Oz, called...
"The Valley of the Dolls."
...
"Meet Kimmie Haines, she's been here from the start?"
"Still waiting to replace, her Broken Heart."
"And, over there all alone in that chair, is Katey."
"Still waiting for that Donation, in the form of a 'Human Kidney?'
"And, what about Pete?"
"Yes, let's meet Pete!"
"But, we better wait a bit cause, he's asleep?"
"And, we keep him well covered, the Wizard and Me...
"So, he doesn't get a Shiver!"
"As he awaits for a replacement of A Liver."

"And, what about Me?"
"Yes, I'm a patient too!"
"My kidneys work fine and my Heart goes too!"
"But, my problem is different from them all?"
...
"The first moment that I stepped in this place, I soon realized that all these Dolls, seemed lost and out of place?"
"Some are content and those are the ones that don't have to pay rent!"
"They have Insurance and are way up on, 'The List!'
Ad for me?:
"My employer took it away in 2003!"
...
"So, it's harder for me and as I await...
"My, 'Gift of Life', will probably come to late!"
"You see, for Me, what I so desperately need...
"What's missing for me...
"And, it's not a Heart, Liver, or even a Kidney?"
...
"Yes, my time here is almost over and done."
"And, soon I'll be leaving...
"Without a *Son."
