like a surgeon

i finally made it through med school

somehow i made it through

i'm just an intern

i still make a mistake or two

i was last in my class

barely passsed at the institute

now i'm trying to avoid

yah i'm trying to avoid

a malpractise suit

hey

like a surgeon

cuttin' for the very first time

like a surgeon

organ transplants are my line

better give me all your gause nurse

this patient's fading fast

complications have set in

don't know how long he'll last

let me see

that i.v. here we go - time to operate

i'll pull his indsides out

pull his insides out

and see what he ate

like a surgeon

hey

cuttin' for the very first time

like a surgeon

here's a waiver for you to sign

woe

woe

woe

it's a fact - i'm a quack

the disgrace of the a.m.a. 'cause my patients die

yah my patients die

before they can pay

like a surgeon

hey

cuttin' for the very first time

like a surgeon

got your kidneys on my mind

like a surgeon

ooh like a surgeon

when i reach inside

with my scalpel

and my forceps

and retractors

oh oh

oh oh

woe

oh

ooh baby

yah

i can hear your heartbeat

for the very last time
