Lyrics for Song: The A.M.A. Song
Lyrics for Album: On My Way [2010]



We are the nation's physicians


Yes, we give to our lobbies every day


We will fight against disease when the money comes with ease


And when we get together we say





Hooray for A.M.A.


And for us doctors gluts of higher pay


If you can't afford my bill don't you tell me that you're ill


'Cause that's the free enterprise way


We've divided up the sections of the body


Every day we specialize more and more


But we really love to stitch the diseases of the rich


We are sure there is a clinic for the poor





Hooray for the A.M.A


And for us doctors gluts of higher pay


If you can't afford my bill don't you tell me that you're ill


'Cause that's the free enterprise way


And our waiting rooms are getting pretty crowded


It is sad to see our patients sit and bleed


But if you must use our ointment then you must have an appointment


Or who'll pay for those magazines you read





Hooray for the A.M.A


And for us doctors gluts of higher pay, higher pay


If you can't afford my bill don't you tell me that you're ill


'Cause that's the free enterprise way


And now the government is getting too ambitious


Yes, we know they want to socialize us all


Well our oath was Hippocratic but with money we're fanatic


So we'll see you in Canada in the fall [1]





Hooray for the A.M.A.


And for us doctors gluts of higher pay


If you can't afford my bill don't you tell me that you're ill


'Cause that's the free enterprise way


AMALGAMATED A.M.A.
