Lyrics

Flying Doctor

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

He sneaks through the door of the surgery

He's got the drug cabinet key, he did something funny

and tied up his arm

It's just the flying doctor, no cause for alarm

He sprinkled out a powder, and laid out a line

He sniffed it up his nostrils, feeling so fine

Feeling so fine, it feels like he's blind

Feeling so fine, it feels like he's blind

His receptionist saw him, it certainly shocked her

She said "Look out, you'd better stop, here

comes the Flying Doctor"

Out in the outback there's been an outbreak

And the Flying Doctor's got nothing to take

He went to the cabinet and the cabinet was bare

He's so outraged and you can see by his stare

Called up his brakes on the radio, he said "My supplies

are running low" They're running low you can see

where they go. They're running low I see where they go

Out in the outback with my merciful claptrap

Look out you'd better duck, here comes the Flying Doctor

He's got the cabinet key, the cabinet key, the cabinet key

"This is the Flying Doctor calling Wallarolla back. Will

the base come in please? I want to talk to you about

my drugs case... He's as drunk as a Kangaroo's Carburetor"

Cabinet key

Wake up one, two, three, four

A Sheilah in the bush by a Koolah bar tree needing an

urgent appendectomy

The Flying Doctor like a true Australian, performed the

operation with a saltine can, he made a rough incision

and tried to chew it out, he had no anaesthetic

So she started to shout, she started to shout. When

he was chewing it out. She started to shout and

tried to chew him right out, balled up his fist and

so typically socked out

Look out you'd better stop. Here comes the Flying Doctor.

Cabinet key, cabinet key, cabinet key
