Like a Surgeon Songtext
von “Weird Al” Yankovic

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 passed at the institute
Now I'm trying to avoid, yeah, I′m trying to avoid
A malpractice suit

Hey, like a surgeon
Cuttin' for the very first time
Like a surgeon
Organ transplants are my line

Better give me all your gauze, 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 insides 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

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

It′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 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-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh, baby
Yeah
I can hear your heartbeat
For the very last time
