You should've seen the doctorFirst time that he triedHe held his head frustrated,Squinted up his eyesHe said "I couldn't make it through, son"No I just couldn't get through"I'm gonna send you to the hospital,See what thay can doWell the hospital had doctors,pretty nurses tooI said "I took the taxi bleeding, mister,"Tell me what to do"They said, "Let's take a minute..."Have a seat, sir, if you will."Let our first consideration"Be for who will pay the bill"They walked my past the rugsThe doctor donned his scubsThey laid me on the table, babyI called out for drugsWhen I woke up laterThe pain was not to bigI sat up on that table and said"Get me to the gig"SongtexteWell, the doc said, "Not so fast"He said, "Let up off the gas"Our tubes are made of plastic now,"They've discontinued glass"And our plastic tubing is not all that's been replaced"What he told me next, peopleTook the colour from my faceWell he showed me an x-rayof my spine, begun to sagThe picture of my insideslooked like an old brown bagAnd into my left kidney he put a crazy plastic strawI asked him for some semenTo put in my glass jarHe said, "I'd love to abide"But alas, my hands are tied"He wrote me out prescriptionsto make the pain subsideHe said, "You know that plastic straw"Sure fits you like a wig"He shook my hand and he said,"Good luck at the gig" Aus Songtexte Mania
