A Pharmacist's Ode to Haloperidol

This is a little composition of mine for all my friends working in the hospital. I have been meaning to put it to paper for a while. I sincerely hope it brightens your day.


A Pharmacist's Ode to Haloperidol

(Sung to the tune of Beyonce's Halo)


Remember those patients we treat?
Well, Nursey, they're running around.
We mustn't let 'em put up a fight.
We mustn't let 'em make a sound.

I've found a way to bring 'em down,
And I've never really had a doubt.
Hit 'em a few migs of halo',
And we'll have our angels now.

     They don't need to be awakened,
     And we'll finally have our break, yeah,
     There's no risk to be taken.
     It's the easy way to shut them up.

          Everywhere we're looking now,
          We're surround by its warm embrace.
          Baby it's the work of halo'.
          You know it's our saving grace.

          It's everything we need and more,
          We should go spray it all over the place.
          Baby it's the work of halo'.
          Let's pray it won't fade away.

               Use a shot of halo' halo' halo',
               Let 'em have some halo' halo' halo,
               Get a load of halo' halo', halo'
               Give it to 'em: halo' halo' halo'...


Hits 'em like a laser gun,
It'll see you through the darkest night.
I really need to keep you on side,
so I'm gonna help you in your plight.

You never need to stress again,
And baby you shouldn't be stressing.
I promise I'll come straight away,
If your Pyxis ever gets that low again.

   If supplies have all been taken,
   And your patients start a-shakin',
   I'll be there with fifty amps, yeah.
   And I'll do my best to top you up.

       Everywhere we're looking now,

       We're surround by its warm embrace.

       Baby it's the work of halo'.

       You know it's our saving grace.

       If you ever, ever need some more,

       I'll get it from all over the place.

       I'll come bursting through your locked-down doors,

       and I'll sing it out:

            I have got your halo' halo' halo',

            Come and get your halo' halo' halo',

            Draw a dose of halo' halo' halo',

            Give it to 'em halo' halo' halo'.

            Use a shot of halo' halo' halo',

            Let 'em have some halo' halo' halo,

            Get a load of halo' halo', halo'

            Give it to 'em: halo' halo' halo'...
