Verse 1
You’re the nurse with the long-leg stride
I’m the CNA tryin’ to keep up behind
You grab the top shelf, no need to climb
I’m over here like, “hold on—give me time”
You see the veins from across the room
I’m dragging linens like a workout move
You say “quick vitals,” cool, no stress
I already ran a marathon getting dressed
Chorus
You’re tall, I’m small, but we save them all
Same floor, same chaos, same call light brawl
You reach the meds, I reach the snacks
You write the orders, I’ve got your back
Different heights, same tired face
Same shift, same coffee, same last nerve space
Verse 2
You walk in calm, like you slept eight hours
I’m fueled by caffeine and pure willpower
You say “let’s boost,” I say “on three”
My knees crack louder than the IV
Families ask, “Are you in charge?”
I point up like, “yeah—that one, large”
You laugh, I laugh, then we hustle fast
Till break time hits and disappears fast
Chorus
You’re tall, I’m small, but we save them all
Same floor, same chaos, same call light brawl
You reach the meds, I reach the snacks
You write the orders, I’ve got your back
Different heights, same tired face
Same shift, same coffee, same last nerve space
Bridge
When the shift goes wrong, we don’t fall apart
We just talk trash quietly at the cart
No superheroes, just comfy shoes
And trauma bonding over hospital food
Final Chorus
So here’s to you, tall nurse queen
Me, the CNA, stayin’ mean (professionally)
Same patients, same mess, same laughs all night
You bring the height—I bring the fight
Outro
Clocking out sore, still standing strong
Short or tall, we belong 🎤😌
