The Trendelenberg Dance*

Updated on February 27, 2022


Chorus:

Trendelenberg, trendelenbergI cannot tame my broken hip

Verse:

Trendelenerg, trendelenbergI lurch, sway, pitch, and nearly  trip
I once could walk with great aplombBut now I am a pendulum

Chorus:

Trendelenberg, trendelenberg Whatever made me snag and slip
My usual gait has gone amuckI waddle round like a seasick duck

Chorus:
Trendelenberg, trendelenberg How can I get a stable grip
They sent me off to get PTThe therapists now walk like me

Chorus
_______*Can be sung to the tune, “Oh Maryland, My Maryland”
