THE COLONOSCOPY SONG
As sung by Peter Yarrow; released as a single, 2010.

When I had my colonoscopy, I had a question on my mind:
Do we all look the same when the doctor sees us from behind?
Then I had the answer; I felt like such a fool,
'Cause the doctor smiled and said to me: "Your colon's really cool!"
My colon's really cool! What a nice surprise!
He sees a lot of colons but my colon took the prize.

Then he added something that was even more divine:
"We found a polyp hiding, Peter, but we caught it just in time."
He found a polyp hiding; don't mean to sound so crass,
But the polyp was discovered by a cam'ra up—*

My mother and my father spoke to me that very day.
They said: "My son, it seems you've won the polyp prize. Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!"
Now the cam'ra that they used is not like the ones on movie lots.
It's a cam'ra that is tiny and it takes interior shots.
It's a cam'ra that is groovy; it can twist and turn and bend
To film your colon's story and insure a happy end.

So listen to me closely, for this is not a lie:
Colon cancer can be beaten if you are not cam'ra shy.
Call your doctor swiftly, no ifs or ands or buts.
Schedule your colonoscopy; I know you've got the guts.

My colon's really cool, and what a nice surprise!
My doctor sees a lot of colons but mine took the prize.
Mine took the prize, my friends; mine took the prize.
My colon's really groovy so my colon took first prize.
