Like A Surgeon Lyrics
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 the class,
Barely passed at the institute.
Now I'm tryin' to avoid
Yeah, I'm tryin' 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.
Wo-ho. Wo-ho. Wo-ho
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 hoo, like a surgeon,
When I reach inside
With my scalpel,
And my forceps,
And retractors.
Oh ho. Oh ho. Ooh, baby,
Yeah, I can hear your heart beat
For the very last time.
Somehow I made it through.
I'm just an intern, I still make a mistake or two.
Barely passed at the institute.
Now I'm tryin' to avoid
Yeah, I'm tryin' to avoid
A malpractice suit.
Cuttin' for the very first time.
Like a surgeon,
Organ transplants are my line.
This patient's fading fast.
Complications have set in,
Don't know how long he'll last.
Here we go, time to operate.
I'll pull his insides out.
Pull his insides out,
And see what he ate.
Cuttin' for the very first time.
Like a surgeon,

Wo-ho. Wo-ho. Wo-ho
The disgrace of the A.M.A.

And retractors.
Oh ho. Oh ho. Ooh, baby,

parody of "Like a Virgin" by Madonna
no i like it when you or someone says its a parody....
keep tellin :-D
You might as well say it cuz not everyone knows what the song is a parody of (well most of the time yeh but...) and people can see which songs are and which ones aren't...
i agree
Weird Al ROCKS!!! and i think it's helpful for people to tell which songs are parodies cos i usually can't tell: i don't know a lot of 80's song cos i'm just 13!
great, great, great. very funny :D I was last in the class, Barely passed at the institute. - my favorite lines. and the video for this song is just INCREDIBLE!
Im turning 13! But I usually know which songs are parodies and which ones aren't, but oh well.....
WEIRD AL FIRST! This is the only song that Al made from a suggestion..... Apparently Madonna was walking down the street and wondered aloud "I wonder if Weird Al will make a parody of Like a Virgin and call it Like A Surgeon"
A friend heard her and passed it on to Al. Al usually doesn't take suggestions, but he did that time because it was a good idea and it was suggested by Madonna....
I thought he said "gozzlers" instead of gauze,nurse lol
Can we stop with saying the song is a parody? We know more than half of Al's songs are parodies. You do not need to inform us.
