I said, "Old man with sprained neck, twisted knee,"
You're gonna feel good with R-I-C-E, it's fun to heal good with R-I-C-E.
Sometimes, there's a glitch in this scheme -
Symptoms -- this might all help explain,
You're gonna feel good with R-I-C-E, it's fun to heal good with R-I-C-E.
When you hang out at Physio.
Post-op, Doc's rewired your limb,
R-I-C-E, it's fun to heal good with R-I-C-E

"Old man with a sports injury,"
I said, "Old man with sprained neck, twisted knee,"I said, "Lean man with low bone-density
And your brittle bones so snappy..."
Old man on the floor of the gym
I said old man with a red swollen limb
You can stay there, moaning woe-is-me hymn
Or find ways to mobilize it (rest, raise, freeze, compress).
You're gonna feel good with R-I-C-E, it's fun to heal good with R-I-C-E.
You could get an MR, deal with specialists' claims,
Short-term treatment will be the same.
You're gonna feel good with R-I-C-E, it's fun to heal good with R-I-C-E.
If you've Medicare B, there'll be no fees you owe
When you hang out at Physio.
Sometimes, there's a glitch in this scheme -
Early X-rays aren't as smart as they seem,
Subtle fractures missed by linear beam,
And a scan is more revealing.
Symptoms -- this might all help explain,
After one week, why you're still wracked by pain,
So some bone-meds you will likely be takin',
'long with RICE, then ambulation (rest, raise, freeze, compress).
You're gonna feel good with R-I-C-E, it's fun to heal good with R-I-C-E.
It's First-Aid of choice, as approved by your grand-pa,
And it still is the modern mantra.
R-I-C-E, it's fun to heal good with R-I-C-E.
If you've Medicare B, there'll be no fees you owe

Rarely, when you see Dr Dodd,
(Worth waiting, he's a sharp orthopod),
He'll astound you, "it's unstable - good God!"
Hip or knee or shin needs fixing.
Post-op, Doc's rewired your limb,
Turn up volume, and just listen to him.
Pain is screaming, don't sign out on a whim,
You've just got to know this one thing (rest, raise, freeze, compress).
You're gonna feel good with R-I-C-E,
It's fun to heal good with R-I-C-E.
It's fun to heal good with R-I-C-E.
You could threaten to sue, dream of injury claims,
Short-term treatment will be the same.
R-I-C-E, it's fun to heal good with R-I-C-E
Old man, old man on the floor of the gym,
Old man, old man with a red swollen limb.
Fade:
R-I-C-E, you're gonna feel good with R-I-C-E,
Old man, old man with sprained neck, twisted knee...
