He tried to cure my disease
I was sweatin on the way to the op room
Getting sedatives to put me at ease
They put me on a gurney in a hospital gown
They give me anesthetic and they strap my legs down
"You won't feel a thing," is what the doctor told me
We're gonna whack it off, whack it off, whack it off, whack it off...
HEY!!!
Man, you must be kidding me
Take a look! (He got the wrong foot amputated)
Hey!!!... You shoulda cut they other knee
Take a bow! (You got the wrong foot amputated)
Hey-ay, that leg was fine
You mean to tell methat this stuff happens all the
ti-imeHey-ay! This ain't my day!

Don't wanna hear no excuses
Its already too late
Don't try to say I got a two for one sale
A woman that I know when through a similar fate
She came in for a checkup and they tied up her tubes
Another one had cancer and they took the wrong boob
The other leg was sick and was the one with gangreen
Why didn't they whack it off, whack it off, whack it off, whack it off...
HEY!!!
Man, you must be kidding me
Take a look! (He got the wrong foot amputated)
Hey!!!... You shoulda cut they other knee
Take a bow! (He's getting pretty aggrevated)
Hey-ay, that leg was fine
You mean to tell methat this stuff happens all the
ti-imeHey-ay! This ain't my day!
