I was running home for supper
'Cause it was already made
A big bowl of chicken dumplings
And a big glass of lemonade
I was coming through the park, there
And home, just around the block
I tripped on a couple kissing
I fell and I hit a rock

I banged my knee, I banged my knee
I guess I was lucky, It would have been yucky
If I'd hit that tree
I started rolling round and round
Holding my knee and banging the ground
I know that it's goin' to be really swollen
'Cause I banged my knee

The couple, they didn't notice
I guess they were too involved
It don't take a lot of looking
To see where their world revolves
Somehow I got to my feet
And started to limp away
Headin' for the doctor's office
What would my mother say?

I banged my knee, I banged my knee
And all of this swelling made me start yelling
"It's hurting me!"
It hurts to walk or run
How am I gonna have any fun?
I should be devoting less time to quoting
Obscenities!

I banged my knee, but why should I cry now?
I'm not gonna die now, hopefully!

The surgeon and the nurse
Started to pull, and just made it worse
It looks disgusting, and how I've been cussing
Since I banged my knee

The nurse says, "It hurts"
The doc says, "It's shock"
I told them, "I know,
I fell on a rock!"
I still got a bill
And a bottle of pills
So that shows you how it goes!
I guess I'm a mess
I can't really tell
The pain in my leg
It still makes me yell!
That bottle of pills
Just gives me the chills
And still that doc, I owe!

I banged my knee, I banged my knee
I've had no chance to get up and dance
Since I banged my knee
What did I gain? Alot of pain!
And a chance to sing this refrain!
I shouldn't have fallen
'Cause now I must call in, for Emergency
It's starting to swell
Just 'cause I fell and it's hurting me!
This time the ride cost more than my pride
That's how my cash flow became less than zero
I don't think it's funny, 'cause I've had no money
Since I banged my knee
