Amateur Transplants - Anaesthetist's Hymn
текст песни

Everybody wonders what anesthetists do while the patient is asleep
Everybody wonders what we do for three hours while that machine goes beep
Everybody reckons we drink coffee and we gossip and we're generally subversive
Everybody reckons we do crosswords and Sudoku and we chat up all the nurses
But do you really think that's all we do?
Well, let me tell you now it isn't true!
'Cause we sometimes check the screen
And every now and then we write stuff
And if we have to intervene, we inject a bit of white stuff
And we offer to alter the lights or the heigth of the bed
Or fiddle with the radio, change the CD We even check the patients occasionally...
And if they move, we turn up the vapour
And then we go back to reading a paper...
'Cause while the patients asleep, we just sit and listen to the beep We just sit and listen to the...
Once upon a time I took pride in my job, but now I think it's time to depart
'Cause I just sit here every day and listen to blips of the heart!
