How about this one?

SURGERY by Oscar Brand

Why not be an operator,
Cut it now and sew it later,
Surgery is where the heavy dough is.
If a patient's got ptomaine,
You can free him from the pain,
Soon as you discover where the toe is.

CHORUS: Surgery, surgery,
First you cut and then you stitch
Cut it out and you'll be rich;
Surgery, surgery,
There's no peril, Keep it sterile,
Surgery

Why waste time in diagnosis,
Life can be a bed of roses
And you never have to work your rear off
Your stream of life will soon be ripple-less
If he comes down with Erysipelas
All you have to do is take his ear off

CHORUS
