Lyrics

Dispatching is my job, but it is my passion too
I get to solve other people’s problems and tell responders what to do
I answer the call of 911 with style and grace
I do this in the dark, I don’t even see your face
I am the voice of reason, I am the calmness in the night
I listen to your fears; I talk you though your plight
No matter when you call, I am always there
I won’t let you down; I will always care
I coach you though bringing your baby into the world
I am sometimes the first to know if it is a “boy or girl”
I give CPR instructions; I tell you when to breath
I stay right by your side; even when I know it is time to leave
I listen to your frantic calls about your “cat up the tree”
And chuckle to myself “because a “cat skeleton” I will never see
Every emergency is different; no caller is the same
We do have frequent flyers and we can call them by name
I chose this profession; it did not choose me
But in my heart of hearts; being a dispatcher is what I will always be
