Caffeine rush, caffeine crash

Come in late, fall asleep in class

Study days, sleepless nights

Five more years until the boards

 

Don’t ask me how

I should treat that

I’m still in first year, I don’t know squat

But there’s one thing that we all know

What does the doc say?

 

Ha-ha-ha-hah-haha-hahah!

Ha-ha-ha-hah-haha-hahah!

Ha-ha-ha-hah-haha-hahah!

What the doc say?

Hu-hu-hu-hoo-huhu-huhoo!

Hu-hu-hu-hoo-huhu-huhoo!

Hu-hu-hu-hoo-huhu-huhoo!

What the doc say?

 

History, physical exam

Diagnosis? You tell me

You don’t know? You forgot?

Guess how stupid you can be!

 

Your coat’s so white

So beautiful

Like an angel in disguise

Can you tell me

Professor

Can I really pass this

Co-o-oh-o-ourse, co-o-oh-o-ourse, co-o-oh-o-ourse

Why the hell did I choose this

Co-o-oh-o-ourse, co-o-oh-o-ourse, co-o-oh-o-ourse

What does the doc say?

 

Ha-ha-ha-hah-haha-hahah!

Ha-ha-ha-hah-haha-hahah!

Ha-ha-ha-hah-haha-hahah!

What the doc say?

Hu-hu-hu-hoo-huhu-huhoo!

Hu-hu-hu-hoo-huhu-huhoo!

Hu-hu-hu-hoo-huhu-huhoo!

What the doc say?

Kaya-kaya-kaya ‘to!

Kaya-kaya-kaya ‘to!

Kaya-kaya-kaya ‘to!

What the doc say?

Ayaw-ayaw-ayaw, ayoko na!

Ayaw-ayaw-ayaw, ayoko na!

Ayaw-ayaw-ayaw, ayoko na!

What the doc say?

 

The secret to med school

Ancient mystery

Somewhere deep in these halls

I know you’re looking

What are we really doing?

Will we ever know?

Make more sense as we go along

What are we really doing?!?

You’re my guardian angel

Knowledge over death

What are we really doing?!?

Will we ever know?

I want to know

I want to know

I want to know!
