Lyrics
Beep, beep, beep, not that one
Beep, beep, beep, not that one
Don't mute it, tune it
Lose little sensor, slipping off a finger
Sticky note on the screen, just says, keep beeping
Some studies say up to 89
are froze Hear it all shift long, and you stop hearing it at all
Beep, beep, not that one
Beep, beep, not that one
No music, tune it, turn the noise down
So the real one rings out
Bye -bye, I'm the nursing and the human factors crew
Every alarm on every unit, every default too
Can somebody act on it?
That's the test If they can't, we tune it and we quiet the rest
Beep, beep, beep, not that one
Beep, beep, beep, not that one
Don't mute it, tune it, turn the noise down
So the real one rings out
Down, down,
It's got a name
Alarm for teens There's a standard for the sound
The load, the climb
One hospital's committee cut its critical alarms
43%, one along at a time
Beep, beep, not that one
Beep, beep, not that one
Don't mute it, tune it, tune it, turn the noise down
So the real one rings out
Beep, beep, not that one
Beep, beep, not that one
Beep, beep,
not that one Beep, beep, not that one
