Lyrics (unofficial)

I am the doctor
With my stitches and shots
Up to my neck in patients
The haves and have-nots alike

With my skill and my training
With my discernment and nerve
With my learned colleagues or alone
Towards the unknown I have grown

As I follow the vein
As I straighten the bone

Now it seems to me this one has gone
A sweet exit from this life
Notify their husband
Please inform their wife

Diane, did you make that booking for me and my wife tonight at that, that new restaurant? I most simply adore it there.

I certainly did. 8 o'clock, table for two, Dr. Peterson.

Oh, jolly good. Boy I hope they've got the duck on tonight.
