Sorry I'm late ...

Tune is 'Help me make it through the night'

Get That Spittoon Out of Sight

Take that Stetson off your head
You can't wear it any more
Take those spurs off from your boots
They've been scratching up the floor

You've been working here too long
Folks are saying things ain't right
This should be a sterile room
Get that spittoon out of sight

That Lone Ranger mask must go
It's not what you ought to wear
In the operating room
People think that you don't care

The last patient to complain
Simply couldn't understand
The appendectomy was fine
But on his rear you burnt your brand

Saddle up your horse and go
Just ride out into the night
You won't pass muster one more time –
Get that spittoon out of sight

Bradypus

To the tune of that scurrilous classic by Shane MacGowan and the Popes "Ceilidh Cowboy"

COWBOY MEDIC
I'm a cowboy medic
I wear hand-tooled cowboy boots
And I sneer at all my colleagues
Who turn up for work in suits
I've got spurs and I wear stetsons
When I'm asked to save your life
I curl my lip at scalpels
I prefer a Bowie knife

My name is Dr Testa
I speak in a languid drawl
I squint into the sun a lot
And whenever there's a brawl
I punch and kick but never sweat
And never take a blow
And when the dust has settled down
I say, "Set 'em up, please, Joe"

Yippee-yi-yo
Yippee-yi-yay
Yodel-odel-o-dee
Yodel-odel-o-dee
Yodel-odel-o-deedle-ay

I'm a connoisseur of 'baccy
I chew it and I spit
You'd better stay away from me
Or else you might get hit
I've got myself diplomas
I got letters by my name
But they don't matter shit to me
When I'm riding on the range

My name is Dr Testa
Some doctors disagree
With my style and my comportment
And they're out to ruin me
They mock my chaps and lariat
They laugh at my spittoon
But they pale when I suggest to them
A duel at High Noon

Yippee-yi-yo
Yippee-yi-yay
Yodel-odel-o-dee
Yodel-odel-o-dee
Yodel-odel-o-deedle-ay

The Cowboy

I once knew a cowboy from Indiana
Testa was his name
Wore hand-tooled cowboy boots
With a Lone Ranger style mask
He always had his holster
And tobacco for the chewing
He owned 3 large brass spittoons

Oh, I once knew a cowboy from Indiana
Testa was his name
Course he was some kinda doctor
At MidWest Medical Center
The OR as I seem to recall
He'd operate on anybody
If there was something he could do

Oh, I once knew a cowboy from Indiana
Testa was his name
His holster held his stethoscope
He drew it like a gun
Wore a Lone Ranger mask to operate
His spittoons were in surgical ICU
He often missed his mark

Oh, I once knew a cowboy from Indiana
Testa was his name
His patients were pissed
His coworkers were miffed
And the nurse were plan going crazy
Till the center stepped in
And roped their mad cowboy surgeon

Oh, I once knew a cowboy from Indiana
Testa was his name
But then he was roped and wrangled
And made to give up his ways
But he couldn't stand it
So he took himself a vacation
Now he's a cowboy in Montana

Oh, I once knew a cowboy from Indiana
Testa was his name
a cowboy from Indiana
a cowboy from Indiana
oh yeah
