Mickey Shorr & The Cutups - Dr. Ben Basey lyrics

rate me

Man, woman, birth, death, infinity<br />

<br />

I'm Dr. Shnorber, from Big City Hospital<br />

Ben basey is my best resident doctor<br />

He's only lost twelve patients this week<br />

<br />

My boy, Dr. Killjoy hasn't lost one in weeks<br />

His summer replacement has been off<br />

What a bedside manner that Basey has<br />

<br />

(Ahhh, you're gonna feel stronger)<br />

(A longer and feel so right)<br />

<br />

As I understand it, the symptoms come and go<br />

(Ooh ohh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah)<br />

<br />

Sounds to me like we better operate on Barbara right away<br />

(Wait a minute, wait a minute)<br />

<br />

Okay, I'll wait 'til after lunch<br />

What's for lunch Dr. Killjoy<br />

(Mashed potatoes)<br />

<br />

Unlock the operating room nurse<br />

(But she can't find her key)<br />

<br />

Tell them to open up<br />

(Let me in)<br />

<br />

Alright, secure the patient to the operating table<br />

(Something's got a hold on me)<br />

<br />

I'm going to give you this needle to relax you<br />

(Baby, baby, baby take it easy)<br />

<br />

Are you relaxed now, Barbara?<br />

(I feel so strange)<br />

<br />

Check the list of instruments Dr. Killjoy<br />

(French toast, fire heidrant, ash can, pretzels and a monkey wrench)<br />

<br />

Hey Doc, I got some medical students out there<br />

Why don't I give you a buck a piece to watch the operation<br />

Are you ready to perform the operation<br />

Is there anything else you want<br />

(I want a goodluck charm)<br />

<br />

Hey Doc, the patient's coming out of it<br />

She's trying to get off the operating table<br />

(Come back silly girl)<br />

<br />

Now remember Barbara<br />

(Bobby don't cry, please don't cry, try not to be sad)<br />

(I tried and I tried, but you hurt me bad)<br />

<br />

Dr. Shnorber, I think the operation was a success<br />

(Congratulations)<br />

<br />

Well, Ben Basey, how did you patient sleep last night<br />

(Twistin' the night away)<br />

<br />

You must be Barbara's boyfriend<br />

What did you bring her<br />

(And lollipops)<br />

<br />

You have a visitor, Barbara, wake up<br />

Eh eh, Barbara... Barbara<br />

Eh, Ba-Ba-Barbara, Barbara! <br />

<br />

Well Doctor Basey, how is your patient<br />

(Please don't ask about Barbara)
