O, tissue box,

tissue box,

you are ever near

when I need you

 

O, tissue box,

tissue box,

you comfort me

in the night

when I wake

with cough

or stuffy nose

 

You greet me

in the morning

like a faithful pet

You meet me

in every room

 

In the kitchen

as I prepare a meal

a cup of tea

beside the chair

where I try to read

or watch tv

even in the laundry

as I wash my clothes

 

O, tissue box,

tissue box,

you are my comfort

my dear companion

in the days

of my illness

 

O, tissue box,

tissue box,

even when I am well

you shall ever hold

my affection

be forever

my honored guest
