Lyrics
I’ve had some good advice
But it never sounds like fun
Nine men with PhDs
All ganging up upon the one
They say, “nine out of ten doctors,
This is what they recommend!”
So that’s why I always find
That one doctor out of ten!
That one doctor, he’s my friend
Never mind the other 9 of ten
They always have to ask him,
Though they know he’ll disagree,
They know 10 out of 10 doctors
sounds like BS to you & me
So gather in ye close
and I’ll share some things I ken:
There’s things that you can do
when that one doctor is your friend!
You can
brush with the other toothpaste,
and you never have to floss
Ye can ignore the list of side effects
and the warnings on the box
You can eat an Irish breakfast
After a whiskey, to be sure
A few stiff drinks in the morning
Why do you think it’s called “the cure?”
I’ve had some good advice
But it never sounds like fun
Nine men with PhDs
All ganging up upon the one
They say, “nine out of ten doctors,
This is what they recommend!”
So that’s why I always find
That one doctor out of ten!
In washington DC
The surgeon general’s not your friend
Who is that fella anyway,
Telling us this is the end?!
Go on and live your life,
we’ll all go to heaven in the end
Sure, the last time I read about a war
or a battle that we won -
where was the surgeon general then?!
He’s no general, my son!
I’ve had some good advice
But it never sounds like fun
Nine men with PhDs
All ganging up upon the one
They say, “nine out of ten doctors,
This is what they recommend!”
So that’s why I always find
That one doctor out of ten!
I mean, make up your own damn minds
Who cares about those privileged men
In their white coats
With their white teeth
And their perfect skin
And their perfect house
And their sailing yacht
And their bank account
And their smug grins and…
Woah woah there, buddy. You okay?
Yeah, I’m good. *pause* I’m good.
You were saying?
Oh right,
I’ve had some good advice
But it never sounds like fun
Nine men with PhDs
All ganging up upon the one
They say, “nine out of ten doctors,
This is what they recommend!”
So that’s why I always find
That one doctor out of ten!
