I finally made it through med school
Somehow I made it through
I'm just an intern
I still make a mistake or twoI was last in my class
Barely passed at the institute
Now I'm trying to avoid, yeah, I'm trying to avoid
A malpractice suitHey, like a surgeon
Cuttin' for the very first time
Like a surgeon
Organ transplants are my lineBetter give me all your gauche nurse
This patient's fading fast
Complications have set in
Don't know how long he'll lastLet me see, that I.V.
Here we go, time to operate
I'll pull his insides out, pull his insides out
And see what he ateLike a surgeon, hey
Cuttin' for the very first time
Like a surgeon
Here's a waiver for you to signIt's a fact, I'm a quack
The disgrace of the A.M.A.
'Cause my patients die, yeah my patients die
Before they can payLike a surgeon, hey
Cuttin' for the very first time
Like a surgeon
Got your kidneys on my mindLike a surgeon, ooh, like a surgeon
When I reach inside
With my scalpel, and my forceps, and retractors
Oh ho, oh hoOoh baby, yeah
I can hear your heartbeat
For the very last time
